University College

Website: http://universitycollege.louisiana.edu/

University College is an administrative division which serves many non-degree-seeking and other non-traditional students attending the University. University College oversees most of the University’s courses offered at unusual times (e.g., at night) or in uncommon formats (e.g., compressed or short courses). University College also contracts with off-campus clients to offer courses or workshops at other locations.

All undergraduate and certain graduate non-degree seeking students are referred to University College for advising and registration services. Every attempt is made to schedule courses at times and locations which accommodate these students’ needs. Non-degree seeking students served include post-baccalaureates, auditors, professionals seeking further study in their fields, High School Dual Enrollment Students and visiting students who take courses here at UL Lafayette for transfer back to their home institution.

The DOORS (Diversified Opportunities for Older and Returning Students) Program provides services to non-degree seeking applicants who are 21 years of age or older. The program addresses the special registration needs of the older or returning prospective student.

In cooperation with degree-granting colleges and academic departments, University College offers evening courses and off-campus extension courses. This office also serves elementary, secondary, and vocational school personnel through evening and extension courses. Other persons or groups with special educational needs are invited to contact University College (337-482-6729) for assistance.
