ENROLLMENT POLICY
Undergraduate credit courses offered by the School of Liberal Studies & Continuing Education are open to anyone qualified to do college-level work. Proficiency in English is required for all courses except English as a Second Language, and students must meet any course prerequisites.
Summer Session courses are equivalent to those offered during the academic year; therefore, students should expect to devote at least as much time to each Summer Session course as they do during any other semester.
Adults with a high school diploma or its equivalent may enroll in credit courses, as long as they meet the above requirements.
Senior citizens (New York State residents, age 60 and above) who are interested in auditing credit courses on a tuition-free basis should refer to Senior Citizen Auditors.
High school students who have completed their junior year may also enroll in credit courses. To enroll in credit courses, high school students must: (1) have a solid academic record (85% or B average); and (2) send a letter of recommendation from their guidance counselor or principal and a copy of their transcript to the School of Liberal Studies & Continuing Education before registration. High school students normally take lower-level (1000–2999) credit courses and are responsible for meeting any prerequisites.
Purchase College matriculated students in the Schools of Humanities, Natural and Social Sciences, and the Arts may enroll in many credit courses offered by the School of Liberal Studies & Continuing Education:
- In the fall and spring, may enroll on a space-available basis in credit courses offered by the School of Liberal Studies & Continuing Education. (Before registering for these courses, students should obtain their faculty advisor’s approval.) For full-time matriculated students, no additional tuition is charged; however, any listed lab fees must be paid when registering.
- Summer Session is open to all Purchase matriculated students, as long as any prerequisites are met. In particular, many courses are offered that fulfill general education requirements. To find out if a particular course satisfies a requirement for your major, please consult with your faculty advisor before registering.
Visiting students from other colleges who plan to return to that college to complete their degree are welcome to enroll as visiting students at Purchase College through the School of Liberal Studies & Continuing Education. Visiting students are responsible for obtaining approval from their college to transfer Purchase College credits back to their college before registering for credit courses. They are also personally responsible for the College’s tuition, fees, and other applicable charges and are bound by all College policies.
To enroll as a visiting student, select your course(s) and follow the registration guide instructions. For financial aid, please contact the financial aid office at your home college.
