FHSU Non-Degree Seekers
This sub-program page is designed to assist those individuals desiring undergraduate or graduate education related academic credits from a regionally accredited public/state university, for one of the following purposes:
1. Teacher Licensure credits in order to renew their professional credentials within school districts and state licensure agencies;
2. For professional development credits that will enhance personal portfolios for pay and promotion purposes; or
3. For instructors to acquire transcripted credit in areas of education they have unique personal academic interests in.
Student administrative/registration requirements are listed at the left side bar in the form of a Letter of Intent (LOI) for Non-Degree Seekers. Financial Aid is solely at the prerogative of personal eligibility within your school district, or through a form of either the current or prior GI Bill (Veterans) if earned/approved, and not expired. See the PAYMENT OPTIONS link, above at the right.
All students with a bachelors degree can select either option of courses (graduate or undergraduate) to fulfill their individual requirements. Students with a bona fide bachelors degree can register for the graduate version of these courses and possibly have the result become part of a future FHSU MLS or MSE degree. A subsequent formal application for either graduate degree program will be required. Each graduate degree has its separate program link up above available for review.
Begin your selection now by reading each course's syllabus on the left side bar, based upon your selected academic goal or financial limitations. Click on the course name for the topic you might be interested in. Then, click on the Letter of Intent for the desired academic level, graduate or undergraduate. Remember, all students must apply as a non-degree seeker and pay their application fee before registering for any course listed here. The FHSU institutional application link is provided in each LOI.
4. All students registering for one of the five DOD sponsored, critical DL Courses (Educational Psychology, Classroom Management, Secondary Methods, Learning and the Brain, and Contemporary American Education) have a online unique completion requirement, to earn a completion certificate for each topic. The initial online effort is highlighted and explained on a special web page; and can be accessed by clicking on the highlighted link below. The supporting reference material for this effort is now 100% online at the left sidebar of the supporting web link. Students completing course effort at any level, both graduate and undergraduate; or strictly for the requirements of their respective JROTC Directorate (AF, Navy, or Marine) must first earn this certificate with a passing score of 70% or higher. Go to this link to earn that certificate: DL Course Certification.
Finally, if you have any questions, call your RTG mentor, listed at the CONTACT RTG page link up above.

- HOW TO “FINALIZE” YOUR REGISTRATION UPON APPROVAL FROM FHSU TO DO SO:
How to ensure receipt of your Chapter 33 or Chapter 30 Benefits if eligible:
- Apply to use your benefits at FHSU on VA GI Bill benefits at https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/.
- Send your Certificate of Eligibility to Robyn Brungardt (FHSU’s VA Certifying Official) at rbrungar@fhsu.edu. She can also be reached at 785-628-4436.
- Each semester you will need to fill out the Veteran’s Class Schedule after your advisor approves your courses at https://webapps.fhsu.edu/ClassScheduleForVeteransBenefits/ so that Robyn can certify your courses. Your VA file number is your SSN.
- Once your courses have been certified (you will receive a notification e-mail) then you should be able to ‘pay’ for your courses in TigerEnroll by selecting the “Financial Assistance” option. (Chapter 33) – You do not actually pay any monies for these courses unless you have less than 100% eligibility for these benefits and have been so notified by the VA and in your individual TigerTracks account.
FHSU uses TigerEnroll to finalize your enrollment (payment for classes).
To access your TigerEnroll account and pay for classes
Step 1: Go to https://tigertracks.fhsu.edu
Step 2: Click on “CAS Secure Login” and enter your TigerNetID and password.
Step 3: Select the “Online Services” tab
Step 4: Select “TigerEnroll” (It is at the bottom right of the menu)
Step 5: Click on the blue tab titled Enrollment/Payment and complete the steps for payment
In order to finalize with your VA benefits, you will need to select the ‘Financial Aid’ payment option. The amount of your GI Bill benefits will be indicated when choosing this option. If your eligibility is less than 100% the balance will be indicated and is due when finalizing your enrollment.
