Continuing Studies
Continuing Studies is a non-degree status that allows you to take up to 24 credits. Credits may be transferred to an academic program at UofL, if you are admitted to a degree program. Continuing Studies students fully participate in all aspects of courses including assignments, discussions and exams. Students may enroll in any open course for which they meet prerequisites. Continuing Studies students are not eligible for financial aid.
