| Information for Employees Who Do Not Currently Hold a Bachelor's Degree 
   
    |  If you are currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree program at a school 
        other than Columbia, but have not yet fulfilled your degree requirements, 
        you may be eligible to apply for nondegree study at Columbia as a Visiting 
        Student in the Special Students Program. |

    | If you are not currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree program, 
        please read the following carefully: |   
    | Employees who do not hold a bachelor's degree and who are interested 
        in pursuing study in the Arts and Sciences should contact the School of 
        General Studies to find out about the possibility of applying for admission 
        to an undergraduate degree program at Columbia. |

    |  In extremely rare instances, it may be possible for an individual who 
        does not hold a bachelor's degree to be admitted through Continuing Education 
        and Special Programs' Special Students Program to take Arts and Sciences 
        courses for credit as an Undergraduate Nondegree student. Admission into 
        this student category is extremely selective and is limited to students 
        who are in very specific situations that prevent them from applying to 
        a degree program at Columbia.  |

                for admission.  Employees should note that courses taken on a noncredit basis 
                usually do not qualify for tuition exemption, though 75% tuition 
                exemption is now available to a limited number of employees for 
                both the CTA and AITM programs. Please consult Human Resources 
                for tuition exemption eligibility. |
