RESTRICTIONS ON NON-DEGREE STUDENTS

If you are a non-degree student at FIT and plan to seek admission to an FIT associate or bachelor's degree program in the future, the following restrictions apply:

1. No more than 30 credits taken at FIT in non-degree status may be applied towards a degree.

2. A minimum of 50% of the credits identified in an FIT degree program as major and related area credits must be taken in degree status.

Therefore, students who have been attending in non-degree status and who wish to seek a degree, are advised to apply for admissions before accumulating more than 24 credits.  Please refer to the Office of Admissions website for more information on this process.

REGISTER FOR COURSES

Courses that are open to non-degree students are typically scheduled during the evening and on the weekend; these courses may or may not carry college credit.  While some credit-bearing courses are reserved for degree students only, all students must meet prerequisite requirements for any course they plan to take. 

Non-degree students who wish to take credit or non-credit courses should see "Registration Instructions" in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, www.fitnyc.edu/continuinged.

Non-degree students who did not attend FIT during the previous semester must also complete and submit the non-degree enrollment form to have an active student record created.

Pre-registration is available to non-degree students each fall and spring term.  In addition, an arena registration is held in the gym the week before classes start each fall and spring.  During the week of arena registration, registration and advisement are available to non-degree students from 5-7 p.m. only.  Faculty advisors from each major department are available  to answer questions and to provide information about courses offered.   Please see the School of Continuing and Professional Studies for details about open houses and additional advising.
