A Special student is one who is not currently enrolled/pursuing a degree at another institution and who desires to enroll at Georgia Tech for one or more terms to take certain advanced coursework for personal or professional growth. If admitted, the student may not be enrolled for the purpose of utilizing coursework to obtain a degree at Georgia Tech. A student who has already received a bachelor's degree from another institution may enroll as a Special student with no limitation on the number of hours that may be completed. A student who has not yet completed a bachelor's degree elsewhere may only enroll as a Special student for a maximum of 12 semester hours.
