Special Registration Classifications for the Master of Arts in Counseling (M.A.C.) Program

In addition to the normal full-time and part-time classifications for students who have been accepted into the M.A.C. program, Lakeland also offers a "special student" or non-degree seeking category. Special student registrations are permitted by those students who would like to strengthen an existing major, develop a new area of interest, or complete professional requirements. Special student registration will be granted only to those students who are not pursuing a master's degree in counseling at Lakeland College.

Special student status is available if you possess a bachelor's or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution. Special Students are required to complete a Graduate Admission Application and are subject to the following unique policies:

• Students are only allowed to register for up to 12 credits.
• Enrollment in courses is on a space-available or standby basis. Students fully admitted or on probationary admission status into the M.A.C. program will be given priority in all courses.
• With the exception of guaranteed student loans and the application of Veterans Benefits, no financial aid is available.
• Application for special registration enrollment must be made, in writing, to the Office of the Registrar.
• Practicums, Internships and Independent study courses are not available.
• Students must meet all identified course pre-requisites.
