Non-Degree (Non-Matriculated) Admissions
If you wish to enroll in our courses but do not plan to pursue a degree, you may enroll as a non-degree or non-matriculating student.
If you are a current UB student, register as normal and check with your advisor about whether our courses will count towards University requirements.
Before you apply
Review and Select Courses
Non-degree students are only allowed to take approved elective courses.
- If you are taking courses for your LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) exam, be sure to check our clinical course list to be sure the course you select is clinical.
- If you are a NY LMSW or LCSW taking a course for continuing education hours, you must obtain a B- or better to obtain a certificate. Look at the elective course descriptions to see which ones count for CEUs.
Please note:
Non-matriculated (non-degree) students are not eligible for financial aid.
