Become a Visiting Student at Shenandoah

Visiting Students are not enrolled in a certificate or degree program at Shenandoah University. However, they are held to the same academic standards and judged in the same way as students who are admitted, degree-seeking students.

Courses that have a prerequisite requirement may not be available for Visiting Students. Questions about Visiting Student courses, please contact an Academic Advisor.

Visiting Student Registration Process

  1. After submitting the Visiting Student Form (available soon for Fall 2021), you will be contacted within 1 to 3 business days by a Shenandoah Academic Advisor for assistance in completing a course registration form.
    • Special approval may be required to register for specific courses. If necessary, the Academic Advising Department will assist you with obtaining the required approvals.
  2. Access to Hornet Hub will be sent to the email listed on your Visiting Student Form 3 days after submission. Hornet Hub is the Shenandoah student portal where you can view your student account and make payments when pre-registered for classes.
  3. Once your Course Registration form is submitted by Academic Advising to Hornet Central for processing, you will be contacted by a Student Financial Services Specialist from Hornet Central with instructions for making the required payment.
  4. Once you are registered for a class(es), you will:
    • Receive an SU email account. Once your Shenandoah email account has been created, all communications from SU will be sent to your SU email account. Be sure to login and check this account regularly.
    • Receive access to SU Canvas where your course information will be located.

Earn a Degree

Should a Visiting Student later apply for admission as a degree-seeking student, the regular admission procedure is then followed with the Office of Admissions.

  • Undergraduate Visiting Students may apply no more than 30 credit hours to an undergraduate certificate or degree program.
  • Graduate Visiting Students may apply no more than 15 credit hours to a graduate certificate or degree program.
