Community, State College, and non-degree seeking Students

The FAU Marching Owls welcomes both non-degree seeking students and those attending other Florida public colleges including Palm Beach State, Broward College, or Miami-Dade College. If you have any questions about the process, please contact the FAU Band Office FAUBands@minghuojie.com 

New State College Students

Please go to FloridaShines.org, click on "Take a Course as a Transient Student", and complete the application.  There are no application fees, and all you will need is your State College ID# to apply to take MUN 1110 (0 credits), University Marching Band, at FAU.  It is important that you contact your advisor so they are aware of your request and can approve it. 

If you go through this process and are denied, or if you were denied admission to FAU within the previous three semesters you cannot register through Florida Shines and have to register as a "non-degree seeking student". 

Returning State College Students

The FloridaShines.org transient student application must be completed every semester in which you take classes at FAU.  Be sure to talk with your State College advisor, especially if you have a new advisor this year. 

Non-Degree Seeking Students

If you are not currently enrolled at another institution, were denied by Florida Shines, or were denied admission to FAU within the previous three semesters, you can submit a Non-Degree Enrollment Application to participate in the marching band.
