Classification of Students

A matriculated student is defined as any student, full-time or part-time, who has formally applied to Felician University and has been accepted through the Admission office. Classification is determined by the number of credits accumulated and/or the number of courses successfully completed toward the degree sought.

Matriculated students are enrolled in one of the following degree programs: Bachelor of Arts in Arts and Sciences, Education, or Business; Bachelor of Science in Allied Health and Clinical Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Biology, Business, or Nursing; Master of Arts in Education or Religious Studies; Master of Business Administration; Master of Science in Nursing; Associate of Arts in Arts and Sciences; Doctorate in Nursing Practice, Business Administration, or Counseling Psychology.

A non-matriculated student is defined as any student who has not formally been accepted through the Admission office. A student may not attempt more than 36 credits or 2 semesters, whichever comes first, as a non-matriculated student. (This does not pertain to a student who is enrolled in a certificate program.)

Courses taken by non-matriculated students do not lead to the completion of a formal degree. However, the non-matriculated student may apply these credits toward a degree upon matriculation and may also complete requirements for certificates in Religious Studies or Teacher Education.
