Non-Matriculated Registration
An individual may take courses at the college as a non-matriculated student who is not seeking a certificate or degree from SUNY Niagara. Students may also enter on a non-matriculated basis if they are not prepared to matriculate. Non-matriculated students are not required to have graduated from high school or possess a high school equivalency diploma. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid. Contact the Enrollment Center to enroll or review the website information.
Course prerequisites must be met. If a prerequisite course was taken at another institution, an unofficial transcript or grade mailer proving successful completion will be a sufficient waiver.
A student who is under age 17 by the start of the registered term at SUNY Niagara must be enrolled at a high school or registered in a home schooled program. If the student is not age 17 by the start of classes, the non-matriculated application must be approved by a parent and/or legal guardian. If the student withdrew from their high school district, a letter from the superintendent of the district in which the student resides is required to confirm home schooled enrollment.
A minor student’s enrollment in any college course constitutes an agreement by that student to complete all class assignments without special consideration being given because of age.
