Admissions and Financial Aid

Special Student Status

You may enroll in one or two courses at the Heller School before applying for admission. You will enroll as a Special Student in a non-degree seeking status.

To apply:

  • As a first step, please email the admissions contact for the program you are interested in. 
  • Download and submit a Special Student Application Form.
  • Submit transcripts.
  • Submit professional résumé.
  • Secure approvals of the Heller registrar's office and the course instructor.
  • Pay the course tuition fees.

Please note:

  • No more than two courses taken for credit may be transferable to degree candidacy if the student is later admitted to a program.
  • Special students who later choose to apply to a program are considered equally with all other applicants. No guarantee of admission is made.
  • Special Students are not eligible for financial aid.
