Champlain College offers non‐degree admission to students who wish to take undergraduate courses without pursuing an undergraduate degree, both on our Burlington campus and online, for qualifying adults.

Who Can Apply?

You can apply at our Burlington campus if you:

• Are a high school student who plans to take a college‐level course during high school, but will not be using Vermont Dual Enrollment vouchers.
• Are a student from another college or university who wants to take a course but will graduate from another institution. It is the responsibility of the student to have the course(s) reviewed by the home institution for transfer.
• Are a college graduate needing additional credits to qualify for admission to a graduate or professional school.
• Are a person who is taking a class for personal enrichment but not to obtain a degree. Generally, these students will audit a course as they are not seeking credit.

Permission to attend Champlain College as a non‐degree student does not guarantee admission to Champlain College as a degree-seeking student. Non‐degree students are limited to 15 credit hours for undergraduate level courses.
