Important Policies for Non-Matriculated Study

Non-matriculated or non-degree means a student is not formally enrolled in a degree or certificate program – he/she is simply taking classes.  We may also use the term ‘Continuing Education’ student on campus. 

§         Non-matriculated students may be part time (less than 12 credit hours/semester). Full time registration (12 or more credit hours per semester) is generally not permitted unless approved by the Dean of Enrollment.

§         Non-matriculated students may NOT live in SUNY Delhi Residence Halls.

§         Non-matriculated students are NOT eligible for financial aid.

§         Non-matriculated students may NOT accumulate more than 12 credit hours in non-matriculated status (advisement and permission is required for students approaching the 12 credit mark).

§         Generally, once a non-matriculated student has accumulated 12 credits, if he/she wishes to earn a degree from SUNY Delhi, he/she must apply for matriculation into a degree program using the SUNY application.  Credits earned over the initial 12 as a non-matriculated student may not apply toward graduation from SUNY Delhi.

§         Students who have been academically dismissed from SUNY Delhi may NOT take on-campus classes in non-matriculated status at SUNY Delhi.  Only individuals who are permanent residents of Delaware County, or whose permanent residence lies within a 40 mile radius of the college, may request such permission from the Director of Admissions.

Registration: Non-matriculated students may enroll in SUNY Delhi courses as long as the course has seat availability and the student meets course pre-requisites.  Applied Technologies, Nursing, and Veterinary Science Technology courses require special permission from the Division Dean and/or the course instructor, as these courses are open only to students majoring in those particular programs.
