Non-Matriculation
The School of Education does not offer courses on a non-matriculated basis. Students must apply to a specific program in order to take courses in the School of Education. Occasionally, students who apply for matriculation with GPAs slightly below Hunter’s cutoff may be invited to begin as a non-matriculated students. However, this decision is based on the application presented as part of the official admissions review and is subject to the availability of resources.
