Non-Degree Applicant

Non-Degree status is designed for students who want to take courses at Portland State University but do not plan to complete a degree. Non-Degree Entry gives you limited registration access to PSU classes. All credits you receive are fully accredited and transferable to PSU and institutions that accept PSU credits. If you are unsure if Non-Degree status is right for you, contact an admissions representative.
