Noncredit Registration Form (Word doc)
NONCREDIT PROGRAMS
Noncredit
courses, conferences, and seminars are offered to meet the continuing
education needs of adults and organizations. These activities help
meet the requirements for professional development or licensure
renewal for a number of professions. They demonstrate to employers
the acquisition of new knowledge or competencies needed to qualify
for salary adjustments and promotions, and record an employee’s
efforts to keep abreast of new developments in technology or an
employee’s areas of responsibility. For many people, noncredit programs
offer personal enrichment in the arts and humanities or an opportunity
to participate in discussions of current issues.
PAYMENT OF FEES
Personal checks for payment of fees or other obligations to the University will be accepted only when the amount of the check does not exceed the amount due from the student. Please make checks payable to University of Missouri-St. Louis. Valid MasterCard, Visa, and Discover credit cards are acceptable toward payment of fee.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs)

individuals' efforts to continue their education outside of traditional credit and degree programs. Many professional associations, licensing boards, and employers recognize CEUs as evidence of skill development and professional improvement.
One CEU is earned for each 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience, under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. CEUs will be kept on record at the University of Missouri.
INCOME TAX DEDUCTION
The cost of continuing education is deductible for federal income tax purposes under certain circumstances. Check with the IRS or your tax advisor for specific information.

Students enrolled in credit courses administered by Continuing Education are subject to the rules and regulations of the University of Missouri-St. Louis listed in the current University of Missouri-St. Louis Bulletin: Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Catalog.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
You do not need to be admitted to the University in order to take a course through Continuing Education unless you are pursuing graduate credit.
Undergraduate
Selection of students for regular admission is based on high school course work, class rank, performance on a standardized college aptitude test, and previous college work. Students must have official high school and previous college transcripts sent to the Director of Admissions, University of Missouri-St. Louis, 358 Millennium Student Center, One University Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63121-4400.
When transcripts are received, the student's application will be reviewed and a decision made concerning future enrollment.
General Admission
• Submit the General Application for Undergraduate Admission with the application fee.
• Arrange for an official copy of your high school transcript to be sent directly to UMSL. It will be reviewed for required academic units and class rank. If you complete the General Educational Development Test (GED), an official copy of the test scores must be submitted. Total test scores must be, or exceed, 250 for consideration.
• Submit college entrance test scores—ACT or SAT scores for admissions purposes cannot be older than five years.
• If you have 24 hours or less of college course work, you must submit official transcripts from those institutions as well.
How to Transfer to UMSL
• Submit the General Application for Undergraduate Admission with the application fee (if you have never attended UMSL).
• Arrange for official transcripts from ALL colleges and universities previously attended to be sent directly to UMSL. These documents become the property of the University. Hand-carried credentials cannot be accepted.
• To be admitted to the University of Missouri as a transfer student, you must have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours of college-level work and must have an overall minimum GPA of a 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale). If you have completed less than 24 credit hours, you must apply under the procedures governing first-time freshman admission (see paragraph above).
Graduate
In order to obtain graduate credit for graduate-level work, students must be admitted to the Graduate School. Students who have not yet been admitted to the Graduate School may sign up for graduate credit for courses during one semester. In order to obtain graduate credit, they must be admitted to the Graduate School prior to the end of that first semester.
Students not wishing to pursue a graduate degree may be admitted as Non-Degree (ND) students. ND students are required to have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.75. A formal application is required. The only official transcript required of students seeking admission as ND students is the transcript from the institution that awarded the baccalaureate degree. Students admitted as ND students may take as many credits as they wish, but they must maintain a B average. Course work completed by an ND student is not regarded as completed within a degree program. If such course work is later to be applied to a degree program, it must be approved by the department and may not exceed nine credit hours.
Students wishing to enter graduate degree programs must submit official copies of transcripts from institutions granting the applicant a degree or where the applicant has been enrolled for 15 or more credit hours. Transcripts should be sent to: Graduate Admissions, University of Missouri-St. Louis, One University Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63121-4400. When the application and transcripts have been received, the application will be reviewed and a decision made concerning future enrollment.
Students pursuing a graduate degree at UMSL should have prior approval of their advisors to assure that credit for coursework will be recognized toward completion of their degree program. Students not pursuing a graduate degree at UMSL, but who are considering doing so, are encouraged to make formal application to the Graduate School during their first semester of coursework.
PREREQUISITES
Some courses may require prerequisite coursework. To check prerequisites, or the applicability of a particular course to a degree program, contact the appropriate Office of Graduate Studies or your academic advisor.
