Non-Traditional Students

Non-Degree Students

Anyone auditing courses or taking courses for credit, but not pursuing a degree or certificate program at HUC-JIR, is designated a Non-Degree Student. An Audit, like a grade, appears in the Student Information System (SIS) and on HUC-JIR transcripts. A student who fails to attend a course that the student is auditing will have an administrative withdrawal/ “W” posted to the student’s academic record.

Non-degree students must fill out the Application for Non-Degree Graduate Study which is available on the Registrar’s website along with the current tuition and fees. Additionally, the Non-Degree Student must obtain the permission of the faculty member teaching the course.
Guests from the community who may wish to be a visitor in a particular class should contact the faculty member teaching the course for permission. No academic record is maintained, and the guest is not a registered student at the College-Institute.


Consortium Students

HUC-JIR has various agreements with other colleges and universities permitting their students to study at HUC-JIR. These Consortium students receive grades which are sent via transcript to their home colleges.

 

Veterans

The Registrar’s Office can assist eligible veterans with filing the certification for their educational benefits each semester. Please contact the Registrar’s Office. Veterans are encouraged to use web registration each semester as soon as it is available so that the certification of benefits may be filed as soon as possible. HUC-JIR does not charge late fees, restrict access, or impose penalties on students for delayed payments by the Veterans Administration.

 

HUC-JIR welcomes international students. The United States campuses are authorized to enroll F-1 students and to issue I-20 forms for these students. This process is handled by the Office of the Registrar. International students should keep the Registrar’s staff informed of their arrival and departure plans, and any changes in their visa, financial, marital, or employment status, and other matters related to their stay in the United States.
