Student Details and Guidelines

Chicago State University allows visiting, non-degree seeking summer students who are enrolled at another college or university to enroll in courses via the university’s on-line registration system, CSU X-press.

Individuals without a bachelor's degree who can prove good academic standing (C average) at the last regionally accredited college or university may attend CSU as an undergraduate at large (Non-degree seeking).

Applicants must submit ONE of the following documents with the application

College/university Transcript
Letter of good standing from the registrar or dean of the applicant's school
Recent grade statement indicating the cumulative grade point average.

Some professional programs (such as social work, health sciences and education) have restricted course admissions, which will prevent on-line registration. Non-degree seeking, summer only students can register for all other courses on-line. If a student is interested in taking a course in a restricted program, they must contact that department. For departmental office telephone numbers, call the Chicago State University voice activated directory assistance (773) 995-3600.
