Non-Matriculated Student Policy

Non-matriculated students are students who take courses with non-degree related objectives. Non-Matriculated students register directly for courses. Virscend University allows non-matriculated students to register for fall, spring and summer classes (upon availability and meeting the Non-Matriculated Student Criteria).  However non-matriculated students will not be granted a Degree/Diploma and the credits earned cannot be counted towards a degree as indicated on the student’s transcript. Only matriculated students may receive a degree/diploma from Virscend University. If non-matriculated students decide to pursue a degree, they must apply for admission and credits earned under non-matriculated status may be applied towards the degree. This applies to both the BS and MBA programs. Note that the 8-year (B.S. program)/ 5-year (MBA program) Validity of Coursework policy applies.
