Not all Jaguars are traditional students at the University of South Alabama. Some choose not to pursue a degree. Others may want to take classes while home for the summer on the Gulf Coast.
Students can even take just one class to fill a prerequisite, or enroll in a few courses before entering a degree program. Sometimes these students are called guest or transient students.
