Non-Degree, Part-Time and Exchange Students

Not all Berea College students are full-time degree-seekers. Students enrolled in the non-degree program are taking classes for personal fulfillment, part-time students are enrolled in less than three (3) course credits, and exchange students are sponsored by other programs to study at Berea for a year or less.

Even though they are not seeking a degree from Berea College, exchange students are expected to fully participate in every aspect of campus life. As such, they are subject to all requirements of the Labor Program while enrolled. 

As degree-seeking students, part-time students are required to participate in the Labor Program, but a reduction in hours may be approved by the Dean of Labor depending on the circumstances.

Provided funding is available and all degree-seeking students have a labor assignment, non-degree students may be permitted to participate in the College’s Labor Program with the permission of the Dean of Labor.

Students who have graduated are not eligible to participate in the Labor Program and must seek employment via People Services.  If students have any questions, they should contact the Labor Program and Student Payments Office located in the basement of Fairchild Hall, room 10 or call (859) 985-3611.
