General Information Degree Requirements Requirements for completing a degree in the Evening and Weekend program are the same as those for day students, with the exception of the foreign language requirement. Regardless of how many semester hours they transfer in, EWP students can fulfill this requirement by: 1. Completing one language in high school through the second level with a final grade of C or higher; 2. Completing language studies through SPAN 105 or its equivalent; or 3. Completing a course offered by the Foreign Languages and Literatures department emphasizing linguistics and cultural understanding. Audit Adults from the local community may audit Evening and Weekend courses without record for a fee of $50 per semester hour. Certain courses may be audited only on a space-available basis. Audit registrations may not be changed to credit status at a later date. Students who audit with record are required to pay the current Evening and Weekend tuition rate and are graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Senior citizens age 62 or over may audit Virginia Wesleyan courses on a space-available basis for $50 per course. Advising Once enrolled, Evening and Weekend students receive academic advising by Virginia Wesleyan faculty. Counselors in the Office of Enrollment Services offer pre-enrollment advising for students currently attending another school who will eventually attend the Evening and Weekend Program to complete their degree. Class Schedules The Evening and Weekend class schedule accommodates the traditional work day, with classes that meet in the evening or on alternate weekends and some that incorporate hybrid and online classes. The program is flexible to accommodate busy schedules. The typical part-time student takes one or two courses each semester, but students may work towards a degree as slowly or as rapidly as they wish. Part-time students are especially encouraged to enroll in the summer sessions.
Additional Sources of Credit A student may receive up to 32 hours of credit for prior learning, included combined CLEP, military, professional, or other types of credit.
