Entering Belmont University | Non-Degree-Seeking Programs
Belmont provides admission opportunities in two categories: degree seeking and non-degree seeking. Within these categories, there are several different programs.
| Degree-seeking Programs | Non-degree Seeking Programs |
|---|---|
| New Admission | Early Admission |
| Readmission | Audit Admission |
| Electronic Applications | Transient Admission |
| Admissions Consideration | Irregular Post-Graduate Admission |
| Undergraduate Non-degree Admission |
Students who do not plan to earn a degree from Belmont may apply for admission through any of the following programs and may take one or many courses at Belmont. The application fee for any non-degree seeking program is $15.00. The application has an attached information sheet which further details all the additional information needed to apply. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible to receive financial aid.
Students may apply for early admission to Belmont after the junior year in high school. The student may be planning to skip the senior year, take courses during the summer only and return to high school as a senior, or take courses at Belmont concurrent with the high school senior year. The requirements for admission are:
- Letter of request from the prospective student outlining the reason for requesting early admission.
- Completion of the junior year.
- Minimum SAT Composite of 1110 or ACT Composite of 24.
- Minimum high school GPA of 3.00 on academic subjects. Complete with grade of "C" or higher three English courses and three math courses.
- Letters of support from parents and high school principal or counselor.
Individuals wishing to audit a course at Belmont University may complete an Audit application and pay the application fee. An audit student attends class presentations as a non-participant in a non-credit, non-degree seeking status.
Audit admission is based upon the following criteria:
- Audit is non-credit in all cases.
- Since all classes are not open for audit, students must have prior approval of the Dean of the school in which the course is to be offered before being admitted.
- Students taking courses for credit have priority over audit students for class entry. Therefore, audit students may register on a space-available basis only.
- Students may not audit private music lessons.
Admission as a transient student is granted on the basis of a completed application and a transient student permission form completed by an appropriate official at the student's current university. A student coming directly from high school to summer school at Belmont needs to supply a high school transcript, test scores, application, and letter of acceptance from the university they will attend during the fall semester.
Transient student admission is for no more than one semester unless requested by the school to which the grades will be transferred.
Irregular Post-Graduate Admission
The Irregular Post-Graduate status (IPG) is for students who hold an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university and would like to take additional courses at Belmont. Other than the application and fee, a student should submit proof of degree, preferably an official copy of the college transcript with degree and graduation date posted.
Undergraduate Non-Degree Admission
Students who do not wish to earn a degree, but otherwise would normally fall into the freshman or transfer admission category, may submit the application as a non-degree seeking student. The application fee is $15.00, but all other admission requirements are the same as those for degree-seeking students.
