Student Classifications

Visiting Students*

If a person wishes to take courses for credit on a part-time basis but does not want to enroll in a degree program, he or she may submit a Visiting Student Application. In addition to the application form, he or she must submit a nonrefundable application fee of $25.00 and have an official transcript indicating that he or she holds a bachelor’s degree sent directly to our Admissions Office. Some students without a bachelor’s degree may enroll as Visiting Students. Please contact the Admissions Office for more information about this.

Auditors*

If a person wants the opportunity to take one or more courses per semester but has no interest in earning graduate credit or a degree, he or she is invited to audit the classes of his or her choice. An auditor may usually participate in all class functions but will not be held accountable for tests or assignments, nor receive a grade or credit. To enroll as an auditor, a person simply comes to campus on the first day/night of class, registers, and pays the audit fee for each course. No application is required, and the person need not have completed a bachelor’s degree. The graduate school, however, reserves the right to limit the number of auditors in any class, and some classes may be closed to auditors.

Application for Readmission 

There are certain situations in which you may need to submit a supplementary application.

• If you are accepted to Trinity Graduate School but do not enroll

• If you withdraw temporarily, officially or unofficially

• If you complete one degree and wish to pursue a second one

However, if more than two years lapse after your original acceptance, withdrawal, or completion of your first program, you will be required to submit new application materials, including recommendations and personal statements. Students who are readmitted are subject to the requirements of the catalog that is current at the time they re-enroll in course work.

Reactivating a File: 

Any student that applies for admission, is accepted and withdraws to another school, must submit a transcript of grades from the college(s) they attended. A students file is kept for two years after withdrawing their admission. If a student decides to reactivate their file, they must contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-822-3225. If a student decides to seek admission after that two year period, they need to complete a new application for admissions. Incomplete files area also kept for two years after the application is submitted and can be reactivated by contacting the Admissions Office. Application pieces not submitted previously will need to be submitted.
