Visiting Students

Why Am I Here?

Texas Tech recognizes that not all students want to enroll full-time. Visiting, also known as Non-degree Students, just want to take a few classes here and there. These are undergraduate applicants who want to attend Texas Tech University on a temporary basis (such as summer sessions), perhaps working on prerequisites while applying for professional schools, and who are not seeking a degree can engage with Texas Tech as visiting students.

Visiting students are not seeking a degree of any kind, only academic credit for particular courses and on a temporary basis. International students applying for undergraduate visiting admission must be concurrently enrolled in an accredited U.S. institution. Per Texas Tech Operating Policy 34.01, visiting students are those who are not seeking a degree from Texas Tech University, but who wish to take classes here. Examples of students considered visiting students include:

  • High school students wishing to enroll for dual credit courses.
  • Students who have already been awarded an undergraduate degree and wish to take additional courses without pursuing another degree.
  • Students who attend another college or university as full-time students in good standing and intend to return to that college.
  • Working professionals in the community (with or without an undergraduate degree) who wish to improve their skills and earn academic credit.
