Unclassified Admission
Interested in taking courses for credit at Trinity without receiving a degree? Current high school students may enroll in up to 6 credit hours per semester provided the student has a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 and approval of the high school. Download and mail an unclassified student application. If you are no longer in high school, transcripts are not necessary.

If an unclassified student decides to work toward a degree, the student must apply for admission as a degree seeking student. Financial aid is not available for unclassified students.
