Students taking Bellin College courses in a specific semester, but not pursuing a Bellin College degree or certificate program are considered Non-Degree Seeking (NDS) students. NDS students earn college-level credit which is permanently recorded on a Bellin College transcript. NDS students are not eligible for financial aid. Bellin College courses completed while in non-degree seeking status may satisfy degree requirements, should the student eventually enroll as a degree seeking student.
Availability of courses each semester can be obtained from the Registrar’s office. Enrollment in any course is on a space-available basis and may require faculty permission. NDS students do not complete their own registration, the process is completed by the Registrar’s office.
High School Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students taking Bellin College courses through high school program agreements (Healthcare Academy, ECCP, etc.) are also considered Non-Degree Seeking (NDS) students. High school NDS students earn college-level credit which is permanently recorded on a Bellin College transcript. NDS students are not eligible for financial aid. Bellin College courses completed while in non-degree seeking status may satisfy degree requirements, should the student eventually enroll as a degree seeking student.
Students enrolling in courses through the Bellin College HS programs coordinate the process through their high school. The various high schools are offered specific lists of Bellin College courses from which only eligible students may choose to enroll. A counselor or other designated official at the high school provides an approved student list to Bellin College prior to each semester. Students are provided with a specific link to a non-public application to complete for enrollment. There is no application fee. HS students do not complete their own registration, the process is completed by Student Services. Only HS students on the approved lists are enrolled.
High school students do not enroll in major program courses, they enroll in general education offerings. The offerings may be delivered face-to-face at Bellin College, online, or at the high school. Specific sections of available courses are exclusively designated each semester for the high school programs and are not available to the general degree-seeking population at Bellin College.
