Students admitted for joint enrollment are considered degree seeking. A $30 non-refundable application fee is also required. For more information, call or write the admission office. Special Student Admission. Female students who have completed at least their sophomore year in high school and are academically talented and highly motivated may be considered to take one course per semester or summer term. Requests to take additional courses must be approved by the Admission Committee. Transient Student Admission. A transient student is a student who is currently enrolled at another regionally accredited institution of higher education and wishes to come to Wesleyan and take a course(s) as a non-degree seeking student. The student must provide a letter from the Registrar of her home institution stating that she is in good academic standing and has permission from the home institution to attend. It will be the responsibility of the student, in conjunction with her advisor at her home institution, to select courses appropriate for transfer. The student must provide an official transcript from her home institution and must provide evidence through same that she has met Wesleyan prerequisites or their equivalent(s) for any course(s) in which she or he seeks to enroll at Wesleyan College. The instructor of record for a Wesleyan course may waive the prerequisite if he or she deems that the student has adequate preparation to enroll in the class. If the student meets the definition of a transient student and meets the criteria for admission in this category, she or he may enroll for one semester, and may continue for one additional semester with the permission of the home institution. The transient student must abide by Wesleyan’s rules of conduct and all College policies. Transfer Admission. Wesleyan College welcomes transfer students from two-year , as well as from four-year regionally accredited institutions. Transfer students are encouraged to apply as early as possible because of the time required for receipt of transcripts and the evaluation of transfer credit. To seek admission by transfer, a student must submit the following items: An application for admission. A $30 non-refundable application fee. Official transcript from each college previously attended. Official high school transcript or GED, if transferring with fewer than 24 semester hours of credit. Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT accepted), if transferring with fewer than 24 semester hours of credit. Note: Students who earned an International Baccalaureate Diploma at the conclusion of their high school curriculum are not required to take the SAT or ACT. Wesleyan will award 30 semester hours of academic credit to students who earned the IB Diploma. Course equivalencies will be determined by the Program Directors in the various disciplines in consultation with the Registrar. • • • • •

A student’s prior transcript(s) should reflect a high quality college curriculum. Transfer applicants should be eligible to return to the college last attended in order to be considered for admission to Wesleyan. Students should have obtained a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 for unconditional acceptance. Credit will be given for courses with a final grade of “C” or higher. A student enrolling with advanced standing can receive credit for a maximum of three years of a degree program. Credit from a junior college may not exceed 60 semester hours, all of which must transfer as course work at the 100- and 200-level. The final 30 semester hours of course work must be taken at Wesleyan. Credit hours earned in courses accepted for transfer to Wesleyan from other regionally accredited institutions are included in the transfer of student’s cumulative hours earned. Grades earned in courses accepted for transfer credit are not reflected in a student’s Wesleyan cumulative grade point average. For Senior Honors, grades accepted for transfer of credit to Wesleyan will be computed in the cumulative grade point average. (See Academic Honors.)
Final transcripts are necessary to the advising process and to assessing students’ financial aid eligibility. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all transcripts have been received by the Registrar’s Office before completing the class registration process.
