ENROLLMENT INFORMATION ABOUT UND

The following pages of the catalog contain information about admission policies, costs, student financial aid, and housing. The Office of Enrollment Services serves as the central contact point for enrollment information about the University. It provides information to prospective students through printed materials, visitations at schools and college fairs, tours of the UND campus, and personal contact over the telephone or on a face-to-face basis. The application form for admission and housing may be obtained from the Enrollment Services Office. The mailing address is: Enrollment Services Office, Box 8135 University Station, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND 58202. The office telephone number is 701/777-4463. As a general rule, the sooner one makes application, the better, especially if the prospective student wishes to receive the highest priority for financial aid and/or housing.

ADMISSION OF STUDENTS

Undergraduates may be admitted to the University in one of four categories: Regular Admission (full-time or part-time); Transient Admission; Undergraduate Non-Degree Admission; or Audit Admission. See below for definitions of these admission categories. For provisions governing admission to the Law School and medical studies in the Medical School, applicants should consult the respective bulletins of those schools.

Types of Admission

Regular Admission. A Regular Full-Time Student is one who has entirely satisfied the entrance requirements and is duly enrolled as a candidate for a degree in at least twelve semester hours of credit during a fall or spring semester. A student whose entrance units are satisfactory is classified as follows, provided he or she has the hours of credit indicated: a freshman, less than 24 hours; a sophomore, 24 hours; a junior, 60 hours; a senior, 90 hours.

A Regular Part-Time Student is one who has entirely satisfied the entrance requirements, is duly enrolled as a candidate for a degree, but is registered for fewer than twelve semester hours of credit during a fall or spring semester. (Students enrolled in Cooperative Education 337, see p. 31.) There is no specific minimum number of credits in which a student of this classification must be enrolled.

Transient Admission. A transient student is one who is in good standing at another college or university and who enrolls at the University for a summer session or one semester only and plans to transfer the credits earned to apply toward a degree at the other institution. Transient students do not qualify for financial aid. Credit earned as a transient student may be applied toward a UND degree if the student qualifies for Regular Admission.

Undergraduate Non-Degree Admission. Students who graduated from high school prior to 1993 and are deferring Regular Admission while they enroll in a course(s) for purposes other than the completion of a degree may enroll as Undergraduate Non-Degree students. Students enrolling with this status are not eligible for federal financial aid and may not exceed a total of twelve semester hours of credit as Undergraduate Non-Degree students. Enrollment in courses beyond twelve semester credits will be contingent upon Regular Admission after satisfying all entrance requirements.

Audit Admission. Students who plan only to enroll in university classes as auditors will be admitted as auditors and have a status and responsibility in class distinctly different from that of those taking the course for credit. Students wishing to enroll in university classes as auditors must seek and receive the prior consent of the instructor concerned. Anyone enrolling without such consent may be cancelled from the class by the instructor. An auditor is not required to participate in the oral or written work of the class. He or she takes no examinations and receives no credit for the course. He or she is identified to the instructor concerned as an auditor on the official class list. An auditor may not later establish credit in that course by taking a special examination. The course must be repeated as UND institutional credit to earn credit. While a student cannot fail an audit, an instructor may file a W' (withdrawn) for non-attendance.
