Gwynedd Mercy University 2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog above have been met .
U . S . citizenship or permanent residency is a requirement for licensure within certain academic programs . International students and students who are under DACA status or are undocumented should carefully review the licensure requirements for their state before enrolling in a degree program that leads to licensure . Additional information can be found on the National Conference of State Legislatures website . In addition , some programs also require a background check to complete experiential learning requirements , such as clinicals and student teaching . The background check requires a U . S . Social Security Number .
Non-Matriculated Students Non-matriculated students may take up to 9 credits of coursework on a part-time basis at Gwynedd Mercy University . After completing these 9 credits , students must contact the Admissions Office for advice about applying to become a matriculated student who plans to work toward earning a Gwynedd Mercy University degree . If the student does not intend , at any time , to work toward a degree , the admission requirement will be waived . Students who intend to matriculate in health professions , business , or nursing programs should apply as soon as possible but are required to do so once they have earned 9 credits . This does not include students who are enrolled in a dual enrollment course in high school through Gwynedd Mercy University .
Readmission A student who has been accepted to Gwynedd Mercy University is expected to continually progress toward degree completion . A student enrolled in a Term Program who withdraws from the University or who does not attempt any credits during two consecutive semesters ( fall and spring semesters only ) and is therefore considered withdrawn from the program of study will need to submit an online application for readmission . All applications for readmission will be reviewed and approved by the readmissions committee , including the Dean .
Provisional Acceptance Students may be provisionally admitted to a program of study , pending the completion of additional requirements . The student ’ s provisional acceptance letter will indicate the steps they must take to be fully admitted to their program of study .
Visiting Students Students who enroll in classes for credit with the intention of transferring those credits to another institution in which they are regularly enrolled are classified as non-matriculated students .
