Registration of Non-USD Students

Undergraduate Students
Individuals not currently enrolled at USD and not holding a baccalaureate degree will be required to provide:
• Transcript(s) from all post-secondary institutions
• Letter of Approval from your present institution
• Undergraduate Special Student Application
• Registrar’s Information Form
• Academic Integrity Form

The last three forms are available in the Summer and Intersession Office, Founders Hall, Room 108, online at www.sandiego.edu/sio/registration/forms.php or by calling (619) 260-2742.

Graduate Student
Graduate-level courses are open to students holding a bachelor’s degree. Many of USD’s graduate courses are transferable to other graduate programs.

If you have a bachelor’s degree and are not currently enrolled at USD, you may apply as a Special Student through the Office of Graduate Admissions, Serra Hall, Room 202, grads@sandiego.edu, (619) 260-4524.

High School Students
High school students who have completed their junior year with at least a “B” average in all college entrance subjects must submit their high school transcripts and a letter of recommendation from their school principal or counselor in addition to the Special Student Application packet (see Undergraduate Students above). High school students may only take lower-division courses (number 100-299).

International Students
International students already enrolled at a U.S. institution can attend Intersession courses provided that they are in good immigration standing at the school they are currently authorized to attend. The school that issued the student’s I-20 Form must authorize in writing that the student can attend classes at USD.

We are not able to accept and provide initial certificates of visa eligibility (I-20 Forms) to students that will attend USD for Intersession only. If there are any questions, please call (619) 260-4598.

Note: Although Special Student status does not imply admission to a USD program, the courses can sometimes be applied toward degree requirements if you are later accepted into a USD program.
