Take advantage of our small class sizes and unique academic options
As a guest student, you can take online or on-campus classes at Finlandia University. You can remain a student at your college while building in courses online or on-campus at FinnU to create the perfect schedule for you. The guest student option is designed for those of you who need to complete some continuing education units (CEUs), maintain a certification, or just want to take one or two classes.
Steps to become a guest student
A guest student is one who wants to take a limited number of courses at FinnU, and who has no current interest in pursuing a degree. Guest students must have earned a high school diploma, GED certificate or the equivalent. The guest application does not require transcripts.
