PhotoStudents may enroll in coursework at Bradley University without being admitted to regular undergraduate or graduate programs. For students wishing to receive regular course credit, this type of enrollment is called “student-at-large” enrollment and is subject to a special admission process. Students may also take advantage of Bradley’s non-credit offerings by enrolling in Continuing Education Programs.

Undergraduate Student-at-Large Admission
Students wishing to enroll in undergraduate coursework without regular admission to an undergraduate degree program are classified as Undergraduate Students-at-Large. Undergraduate Students-at-Large must complete the following admission process prior to enrolling at Bradley:

  • Submit a completed Application for Undergraduate Student-at-Large Admission (PDF).
  • Submit official transcripts or letters of good standing from all previous and current institutions of attendance.
  • Meet all prerequisite coursework for the classes they wish to take.
  • High school students and international students must meet additional requirements described on the application.

Undergraduate Students-at-Large may take a maximum of 11 semester hours during the fall and spring semesters. A maximum of 45 semester hours taken as an Undergraduate Student-at-Large may be applied to undergraduate degree programs.

Graduate Students-at-Large Admission
Students wishing to enroll in graduate coursework without regular admission to a graduate degree program are classified as Graduate Students-at-Large (SLG). SLG students must complete the following admission process prior to enrolling at Bradley:

  • Submit a completed Application for Graduate Admission available at the Graduate School web site.
  • Submit proof of an earned bachelor’s degree, or the internationally recognized equivalent. It is recommended that students provide official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended at the time of application. Official transcripts, including verification of a bachelor’s degree, must be provided during the first semester of enrollment.
  • Applicants who are not native English speakers must submit evidence of proficiency in the English language as demonstrated by the results of the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).

Acceptance as an SLG student does not constitute admission to any particular graduate program or imply permission to register for any particular class. SLG students must meet any prerequisite requirements and may require instructor permission prior to enrolling in certain coursework. For more information, please visit the Graduate School web site.
