Non-Degree Seeking Students

Want to enhance your education without enrolling into a degree program? Home for summer and want to pick up a three-credit course or two to make next year a little easier? Or maybe you haven't decided which degree program you're interested in pursuing. Mercy College has a solution for your situation.

Mercy College defines unclassified students as non-degree seeking students. Students wishing to take courses for academic credit, but who do not wish to seek a degree are welcome to enroll in liberal arts and sciences courses at Mercy College on the basis of space availability.

A maximum of nine (9) credit hours may be earned as a non-degree seeking student.
