University College is an administrative division which serves many non-degree-seeking and other non-traditional students attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
It is the gateway to higher education for non-traditional students, offering courses that can be tailored to diverse lifestyles. University College extends educational opportunities to individuals whose age, location, or employment circumstances prevent enrollment in traditional, on-campus classes.
University College offers a simplified special admissions process, classes at convenient locations and times, and a variety of online course offerings which make it easy for a non-traditional student to begin or continue their education. The office oversees most of the University’s courses offered at unusual times (e.g., at night) or in uncommon formats (e.g., compressed or short courses.). The department also contracts with off-campus clients to offer courses or workshops at other locations. With the assistance of University College, a student can earn a degree or advance a career.
Non-degree seeking students served include post-baccalaureates, auditors and professionals seeking further study in their fields. The DOORS (Diversified Opportunities for Older and Returning Students) Program provides services to non-degree seeking applicants who are 21 years of age of older. The program addresses the special registration needs of the older or returning prospective student.
This office also serves elementary, secondary, and vocational school personnel through evening and extension courses and other persons or groups with special educational needs. |
