What's the process for a non-degree application at Hostos Community College?

Can someone explain how the non-degree application process works at Hostos Community College? I might take a class or two without enrolling in a full program. Any advice?

Sure, I can provide an overview of the non-degree application process at Hostos Community College. It's good to hear that you're considering expanding your education with some additional classes!

First, you'll need to complete the Non-Degree Application online through the college's website. The application usually requires basic personal and academic information. You should expect to share your full name, contact information, and details about your educational history.

Next, you'll need to pay the application fee. As of now, the fee is $65 but you might want to double check the college's website to verify the current amount. There are no waivers for the application fee.

Once you submit your application and fee, it may take a few weeks for the Hostos Community College Admissions Office to process your application.

You should remember that as a non-degree student, you may not have the same priority as degree seeking students when it comes to course registration. Non-degree students usually register for classes after degree-seeking students. This means that popular courses might be full, so it's a good idea to have several options in mind.

To complete the registration process, you have to contact the Office of the Registrar after you receive your acceptance as a non-degree student. They should be able to assist you with course registration.

Lastly, remember that as a non-degree student at Hostos Community College, you're not eligible to receive financial aid. You’ll need to make sure you can cover the costs of tuition and any other associated fees.

I hope that helps! Remember each community college might have its own unique policies or procedures, so it's always a good idea to reach out to Hostos Community College directly if you have additional questions. Best of luck with your educational endeavors!
