Non-Degree Students

 

A non-degree student is a mature person of ability and seriousness of purpose who enrolls for limited academic work and does not plan to seek a degree at Millsaps. This may be for the purposes of earning professional certification, admission to graduate or professional schools, taking course work to transfer to another institution, or for personal interest. Non-degree students observe the same regulations concerning attendance, examination and proficiency as regular students.

To apply for admission as a non-degree student:

  • Print a copy of the non-degree application (PDF). 
  • Complete the non-degree application form and return with the $25 application fee (payable to Millsaps College) to:

    Janet Langley

    Continuing Education
    1701 North State Street

  • Request an official transcript from the most recent academic institution where you have been enrolled, and have it sent to the same address above.

If you have specific questions about the application process, you may schedule an appointment with Janet Langley, langljr@millsaps.edu, 601-974-1134.

After you are admitted, you will need to make an appointment with Mrs. Langley to register for your class(es).
