Non-Degree Students
Program Information
The non-degree student program allows an individual to take Naropa classes for credit as a nonmatriculated student. Non-degree students need not apply through the Office of Admissions. Students with part-time status may register for 0.5 to 11.5 undergraduate credits per semester or 0.5 to 8.5 graduate credits per semester. Those wishing to take more credits must apply through the Visiting Student Program. Courses are only open to the public on a space-available basis, and not all classes are open to the public. Please see the current semester’s schedule of courses (PDF). Contact the Registrar’s Office at registration@naropa.edu.
