Students-at-Large

Join us for an Information Session to learn more about this program! Click here to reserve your seat today.

Students who are not seeking an SCS degree are considered students-at-large. Registering as a student-at-large provides the opportunity to take one or more courses for personal enrichment or to prepare for future educational or career paths. Students-at-large may take courses for credit or audit courses in which auditing is permitted.

Admission

There is no formal admission process for SCS students-at-large, but students-at-large must have a high school diploma and be in good academic standing at the last institution they attended. If English is not the student's native language, a minimum TOEFL score of 600 (paper version), 250 (electronic version), or 100 (Internet version) must be submitted.

Registration

To register for a course as a student-at-large, please complete the Registration Form and mail or fax it to the SCS Registrar (339 E. Chicago Avenue, Wieboldt Hall, Sixth Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60611; or fax to (312) 503-4942) . Please check SCS course descriptions for information on course locations, times and prerequisite requirements. SCS academic advisors are available to assist students-at-large with course selection and registration. Call 312-503-6950 to schedule an appointment.

Academic Requirements

Students-at-large must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA. If a student's GPA falls below 2.0, the student is placed on academic probation. Students with X or F grades (which are calculated as 0.0) may not register for the next term without the consent of the Student Affairs Committee. Failure to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress may result in probation or dismissal. Students who maintain at-large status need not fulfill the writing requirement.

Applying for SCS Degree-Seeking Status

Courses taken as a student-at-large may be applied toward an SCS bachelor's degree. Students-at-large who wish to change their status to degree-seeking must submit the online application before enrolling in their fifth SCS course.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

Students-at-large are not eligible for financial aid or scholarships.
