Students may be admitted to LSSC as non-degree seeking if they satisfy any of the requirements described in the options listed below:

1. They desire to enroll at LSSC for personal enrichment, job improvement, or to complete the AS - Nursing prerequisite courses. LSSC transcripts will indicate this special status.
2. They desire to enroll as a transient student. Students who are seeking a degree at another institution but desire to take a course at LSSC should do so as transient student. If the student’s “home institution” is a Florida public institution, students must complete the electronic Transient Student Admissions Application available at www.floridashines.org and are not required to pay LSSC's standard application fee. If the student's "home institution" is outside of Florida or is a private institution within Florida, they must complete the online LSSC Application for Admission, pay the application fee, and submit written permission from their "home institution."
3. They are at least 18 years of age legally withdrawn from high school, and without a standard high school diploma or Certificate of Completion (CPT eligible) or a GED. Eligible applicants will be admitted as non-degree seeking students and will not be eligible to earn a certificate or a degree. They will remain classified as non-degree seeking provisional/special students until they provide a high school equivalency diploma and transcript showing completion of a GED through the state department of education. A student admitted under this status is required to meet with an academic advisor before registering and may take up to 12 credit hours before being required to meet the criteria for admission into credit programs.

Note: Non-degree seeking students with previous coursework from another institution must submit official transcripts to LSSC prior to completing 12 credit hours. Future registration will be prohibited until all official transcripts have been received by the Admissions Office.
