We encourage students who are not UMass Dartmouth degree candidates to register for courses as Special Students. They may register only for courses for which they are qualified, and in which space is available after the degree-seeking students have registered. They will be held to a strict limit on the total number of credits for which they may enroll as Special Students. Students are asked to complete a one-page application. They should be prepared to discuss their plans and to show appropriate records of prior schooling at the time of registration.
Registration is held during the week before the start of classes each semester.
The university also hosts a variety of programs for visiting students, both from within the United States and from abroad. Inquiries are welcome. The program aims to prepare men and women for success in college, as an Army officer, or for any chosen career. Contact the Student Affairs Office for more details.
