Real Gracelyn courses, same instructors as our degree programs

8-week courses on Gracelyn's five terms a year, not self-paced

Credit counts toward a future degree if you apply later

*Standalone courses are not currently offered for students already enrolled in Gracelyn University.

Sound familiar?

“I'm not ready to apply to a full degree program.”

“I just want proof I can do the work before I commit years and real money to it.”

“I need one specific course, and a whole application feels like overkill for that.”

That's exactly what Standalone Courses are for.
See It In Action

Take courses like these two.

All courses are from our catalog, and are the same ones our degree-seeking students take.

Principles of Teaching in Education

  • Build the foundation the rest of the education program is built directly on
  • The first course future teachers take here, so you can see what the path looks like before committing to it
EDUC 2101 Undergrad · 3 Credits

  • Covers the same educational-theory foundation our degree-seeking education majors start with

Why Standalone Courses

For people who aren't applying to a degree — yet, or ever.

1

Test the waters

Take one real course before you commit to a full degree application.

2

Fill a specific gap

Register for the one course you actually need, whether it's for work, a transfer requirement, or personal interest.

3

Keep it flexible

No enrollment status to maintain and no long-term commitment. Just pay per course, term by term.

Questions

What people usually ask first.

Do I need to apply or submit transcripts?

No. Creating an account only requires basic contact information. There's no admissions review, no essay, and no transcript submission for Standalone Courses.

Will this credit count toward a degree later?

Yes. If you later formally apply to and are admitted into a Gracelyn degree program, credit earned through Standalone Courses applies toward that program. Up to 45 credit hours can apply toward an Associate degree, and up to 90 credit hours can apply toward a Bachelor's degree.

Are these real courses, or something separate?

Real courses. You join the same Canvas course as our degree-seeking students, taught by the same instructors, on the same 8-week term calendar — not a self-paced or watered-down version.

What if I need to withdraw from a course?

You can withdraw for a full refund within the first 3 days of class. After that window closes, the course is not refundable and cannot be dropped.

Is there a limit to how many courses I can take this way?

Undergraduate coursework taken this way is capped at 90 credit hours — 45 if you're working toward an Associate degree, 90 toward a Bachelor's. Once you reach your cap, continuing requires a formal degree application.

Do I need to enroll in a specific order?

No. Course prerequisites listed in the catalog aren't enforced for Standalone Courses — you can start with any course that interests you.
