Special Programs for Adults

Southeastern offers a non-degree program for persons wishing to take credit courses without meeting all the requirements for admission to a full undergraduate status. To apply for this program, you should not have attended any school for at least three years, and the admission application is only valid for two semesters. If you would like to continue to take more courses, simply re-apply for admissions to continue. Adults who would like to continue to take more courses, must re-apply for admissions to continue.

Submit proof of degree (copy of high school diploma or transcript), proof of immunization, and application fee to the Office of Admissions to get the application process started. If you are 60 or older, you’ll qualify for a three-credit-hour tuition waiver. Federal (Title IV) financial aid is not available for students participating in this program.

If you decide to pursue a degree, consult with the department head of your intended major. You will need to submit ACT scores or proof of prerequisite completion prior to scheduling any English or mathematics courses. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information about this program.
