FAQ
A: Yes. You can apply as a Non-Degree student through the Office of Admissions.
A: Yes. Requests that are missing transcripts and/or syllabi will NOT be reviewed. If you do not have a syllabus for your course, please reach out to your university/institution’s Registrar's Office or the department that hosted your course. They may be able to supply you with a syllabus for the year you attended.
A: No. Prerequisite course requirements are enforced for all students, even Non-Degree. Non-Degree students are unable to take courses and their prerequisites concurrently.
A: If you need a math course to meet the prerequisite, you can try to meet it with the ALEKS Placement Test instead.
A: No. Requests for CS 161 and CS 225 will only be considered for approval if you have officially declared the Programming Fundamentals Microcredential.
A: Yes. You need to submit a Degree Seeking application with the Office of Admissions. Being a prior Non-Degree student does not guarantee admission to the degree program.If you are later admitted to the degree program, you will still be required to do all the New Student Orientation and registration steps which may include taking the ALEKS placement test.
A: Yes, but you need at least 45 credits of new Degree-Seeking coursework to graduate with the CS Post-Bacc degree (32 credits of new Degree-Seeking coursework if you’re a prior OSU graduate). To graduate with a degree in CS, you will need to complete all the required classes. For example, you may be given access to a class like CS 162 while as a Non-Degree student. CS 162 has a prerequisite of CS 161. Once admitted into the program as a degree-seeking student, your record will be reviewed to determine whether or not you have coursework sufficient to fulfill the CS 161 degree requirement. If you do not, you must still take CS 161 to earn your CS Post-Bacc degree.
