Introduction
This walk-through will guide applicants through the application for nondegree study.
Navigate to our application sign-in page (https://apply.sunyempire.edu). Sign in or create your account to get started.
Once signed in, click Create New Application.
Here’s where you select your application type. Please note: the Nondegree Requirements link in the Start a new Undergraduate/Graduate Nondegree Application section below.
Clicking this link opens a new tab and provides application requirements for the Undergraduate/Graduate Nondegree Application.
If you are pursuing nursing nondegree studies, click to expand Nursing Nondegree Study section to view the admission requirements for a licensed registered nurse (RN).
Close that tab to return to the Application Listing. Select Start a new Undergraduate/Graduate Nondegree Application
In the drop-down field Entry Term, select the term you intend to register for courses and click submit.
Complete all required fields within each section of the application (Personal, Demographics, Academic Plans, Partnerships & Work Experience, Writing & Signature). These required fields are marked with a red asterisk.
Once you complete each section, click Save & Continue.
If you do not respond to any required fields, an alert will appear at the top of your application. Click the field link within the error message to complete the requirement.
Under Academic Plans select the appropriate nondegree academic program that you wish to apply to:
Complete the remaining required fields under Academic Plans. Click Save & Continue. Please Note: admit types other than undergraduate will require additional documentation; Graduate level nondegree applicants must provide proof of a BA/BS degree, while Nursing nondegree applicants must provide proof of an RN license.
Complete the areas under Partnerships, Organizations, & Work Experience that pertain to you.
Writing & Signature is the last section of the Nondegree Application. It is important to note that answering “yes” to Disciplinary History means that you have been dismissed from a previous college or university due to actions or physical response to an incident and that is not the same as a dismissal due to academic performance.
Read, review, and check affirmation of all Certifications and type your signature in the Signature block. You may preview your application before submission, or if you have completed all fields appropriately click Submit Application.
Once successfully submitted, your admission account home page will show the application listed under My Applications with a status of Submitted.
Please allow 24 hours for your non-degree application to process. Once processed, we will send you email correspondence on how to set up your account (please also check your spam folder).
