Guest Students

Some people want to take a few courses at Kendall without seeking a degree. We call them "guest students" but we treat them like family! Guest students can take up to nine credits before they have to apply as degree-seeking students.

How to apply as a guest student

The process is simple:

  1. Fill out and submit a Kendall application form, and in the program section, please check the box for “guest student.” Get the form online or call our Admissions office at 616.451.2787 or 800.676.ARTS.
  2. If you have attended a college(s) previously, you may be required to submit official transcripts from all college(s) previously attended.

A few things to consider

Some courses have prerequisites, so you may need departmental consent to take certain courses at Kendall as a guest student.

If you’re currently attending another accredited college or university in Michigan, you may be eligible to attend Kendall for a semester as a guest student. Talk to your college or university, and then call us to discuss your plans.

And, sorry, but guest students aren't eligible for financial assistance.

Let us know if you have questions. Call 616.451.2787 or 800.676.ARTS or send us an email.
