Admission requirements for non-degree-seeking students

Students with more than 24 hours of college credit must have a college cumulative GPA of 2.5. If you are a graduate of JBU, we will have access to your transcripts.
Application deadlines for non-degree-seeking students
None. JBU makes admission decisions on a rolling basis (students are notified of their admission throughout the year). However, there are important dates to keep in mind.
Application fees for non-degree-seeking students
There is no application fee for the non-degree application.
Tuition for non-degree-seeking students
Non-degree-seeking students between 30 and 55 years of age who take six hours or fewer and all non-degree-seeking students 55 years of age or older are charged half the regular tuition rate. Otherwise, tuition will be billed at the regular rate.
Required part-time status for non-degree-seeking students
Non-degree-seeking students may not enroll for more than 11 hours of credit in one semester. As such, credit earned may be applied toward a degree only after acceptance as a traditional undergraduate student. The application process must include all relevant transcripts and test scores if applicable.
