Individual Progress

Students may enroll in one or more courses at a time, or in succeeding quarters, without enrolling in a program of study. Courses beginning with CJK, HIM, MEA, MLT, NUR, PHT, PRN, PTN, RTE, or STS, or with a course level of 5000 and above cannot be taken as individual progress courses. For courses with prerequisite requirements, the prerequisites do not apply. To be considered for admission, individual progress students must complete the application form and attestation of high school graduation. The Rasmussen University part of American Public University System (Rasmussen) entrance placement exam is not required for IP students. Individual progress coursework is assessed at the full cost per credit for each course. Individual progress students remain enrolled at Rasmussen as long as they continue to select coursework and meet all additional requirements. Upon earning a final grade in their courses, individual progress students will receive a letter grade and be awarded credits.

To enroll in a program at Rasmussen, students must complete all remaining programmatic application requirements (including the entrance placement exam). Eligible individual progress courses will be applied to their degree program, and count as credits attempted and earned for purposes of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

Students not in good academic standing in their most recently enrolled program are not eligible to enroll as an Individual Progress student for the purpose of taking course(s) that will apply to that program and bring them to good academic standing.
