Students who hold a high school diploma or GED and wish to attend FIT on a non-degree basis may register for selected courses without a formal admissions application to the college. (High school and middle school students see below.) Courses that are open to non-degree students are typically scheduled during the evening and on the weekend. They may or may not carry college credit. While some credit-bearing courses are reserved for degree students only, all students must meet prerequisite requirements for any courses they plan to take. For additional information see the School of Continuing Education and Professional Studies.

Did you know that, for some majors, you can earn a degree while attending FIT in the evenings and on the weekends? See What Degrees Do You Offer?

IMPORTANT

As you take classes at FIT, please keep in mind that should you ever want to apply to an FIT associate's or bachelor's degree program in the future:

• You must formally apply through the Office of Admissions before they accumulate more than 24 credits. See How Do I Apply?
• No more than 30 credits taken at FIT in non-degree status may be applied toward a degree.
• A minimum of 50% of the credits identified in an FIT degree program as major and related credits must be taken while in FIT degree status.
