Non-Degree Seeking Students

A non-degree seeking student is one who wishes to enroll in courses at American InterContinental University for professional or personal development, but does not intend to pursue a degree at the time of application.

Currently, this option is only available at the following AIU campuses:

  • AIU Atlanta
  • AIU Houston
  • AIU Online
  • AIU South Florida

Non-degree seeking applicants must submit the following in order to register for classes:

  1. A complete application and Enrollment Agreement for admission (Non-Degree seeking status) with an application fee of $50
  2. Evidence of earned high school diploma or a college degree (Associate, Bachelor’s or Master’s)
  3. Non-native speakers of English are required to provide proof of English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL or other English proficiency assessment) prior to admission or arrival

Non-degree seeking students are limited to a maximum of 27 quarter hours, after which the student must apply for admission to a program of study in order to continue taking courses. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for Financial Aid. Enrollment in courses as a non-degree seeking student does not guarantee acceptance into a degree program.

After taking courses as a non-degree seeking student, the student must provide any other required admissions documentation and meet admissions requirements as noted in the AIU course catalog to become a degree-seeking student.
