Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
 
Q: I want to earn a college degree but have never attended the University. How do I get started?
 
A: Getting started on a college degree is easier than you think. The staff at University College understands the needs of busy adult students looking to earn college credit or advance their careers. We have many special programs that cater to non-traditional students who do not fall into the "first-time-freshman, straight-out-of-high-school" category. Contact University College at (337) 482-6729 for more information on getting started.
 
Q: How is University College different from Continuing Education or the Community College?
 
A: University College is a department within the University, unlike a community college or technical school. What separates us from Continuing Education is that our courses are for college credit. Students enrolled through University College earn grades and credits on their transcripts.
 
Q: Can I receive financial aid if I’m enrolled through University College?
 
A: No. Financial Aid is not awarded to non-degree seeking students. You must be pursuing a major or teacher certification to be eligible for loans and grants.
 
Q: How does a University College student register for classes?
 
A: We suggest registering online similar to our traditional, degree-seeking students.
 
Q: I work full-time but would like to take some University courses. What options are there for me?
