Degree status is the recognition accorded a student who is formally admitted through the admissions process described in the section, “Admission to Benedictine University.” Any student who does not have degree status is designated a student-at-large. A student may receive only one bachelor’s degree from Benedictine University, but other majors for which requirements have been completed may be listed on the transcript. Academic requirements apply to students starting their academic program during this academic year or to continuing students that started in a previous academic year and have changed their catalog to the 2026-2027 academic year. Incoming Fall 2026 students may enroll in Summer 2026 courses prior to their Fall admission without altering their catalog year.
