All policy information is taken from the Undergraduate Academic Catalog. Please review the policies if you fall into the categories below.
Non-Degree Students
Non-degree students attend classes without intending to complete the work required to obtain a degree. They are admitted to the institution through the Office of the Registrar. As they are not seeking a degree, they are not obliged to present their previous academic work for evaluation.
Non-degree students are not classified as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior. They are not classified as part-time or full-time.
The academic status, 'non-degree,' is available to undergraduate students only for three semesters and for a maximum of eight credits in each semester.
Should a non-degree student wish to change status and pursue a degree program, a formal application for admission must be made through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions of the University of St. Thomas. Only 24 credits taken as a non-degree student may be applied to a degree program.
Academic sanctions (probation, suspension, dismissal) apply to degree and non-degree students alike.
Readmission Policies
Students who were formerly enrolled in the university but are not currently attending must request reinstatement by calling or writing to the Office of the Registrar at St. Thomas. The student will be reinstated if the registrar verifies that the student left St. Thomas in good academic standing and if the student is eligible to return to the university as certified by the Dean of Student Life.
However, if the student has been enrolled at another college after initial enrollment at St. Thomas, an official transcript of work done at that institution is required. The student will then be reinstated by the registrar if the transcript indicates work of a C average or better.
A student who discontinues his/her enrollment in the university for four consecutive academic years must re-enroll under the terms of the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment.
Veterans
The University of St. Thomas has been approved for the education and training of veterans. It is the responsibility of students who are veterans to familiarize themselves with the procedures and regulations concerning satisfactory standards of progress in order to insure proper and prompt payment of benefits due.
Veterans will receive credit as recommended by the American Council on Education for courses completed through USAFI and for courses from accredited colleges when the proper documents have been supplied to the university.
Specific questions should be addressed to the registrar, who serves as Coordinator of Veterans Affairs.
The University of St. Thomas uses The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services when evaluating work done in these areas. The DD214 or DD295 is required to document these experiences.
