Dear Visiting Student:

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Case Western Reserve University! We hope that you find the following information helpful as you prepare to study with us this summer. First, please see the descriptions below to see how you would be classified at CWRU.

Non-degree student (not seeking a degree from CWRU)

A non-degree student is one who already has an undergraduate degree and wishes to take enrichment courses, to enroll in undergraduate courses for credit, or to audit courses and not receive degree credit. More information can be found here on our webpage about those students who already have a degree (from CWRU or other).

Visiting/transient student

A visiting/transient student is someone who attends another college or university and wishes take summer courses at CWRU to transfer back to their home institution.  Adults who have completed high school and who are not enrolled in a degree program may also enroll for summer classes as a visiting student.

General information

Most classes either have no enrollment caps or ones sufficiently high to accommodate summer students. However, courses in biology, chemistry, and physics may take place in labs with limited space.

The list of courses and descriptions shared here is preliminary, designed to give you a preview of what will be offered in the summer. The official Schedule of Classes will be available starting in March.
