American Studies
Regulations for Transferring Credit From Other Institutions.
The American
Studies Program adheres to the University rule that you must have approval in
advance (at least provisionally) to take any course for which you expect to
receive Wesleyan/American Studies transfer credit. If you have received approval
to enroll in a particular course and it is necessary to find a substitute, you
will need to request approval for the substitute before the class begins.
American Studies majors should seek provisional approval from their major
advisors. Non-majors should apply to the Chair of the American Studies
Department. For the 2006-07 academic year, please email the Director of
American Studies, or fax 860/685-2985.
To receive final approval you will need to present a
syllabus or a required reading list for the course. A catalog description will
not suffice.
Transfer credit is generally approved for course work completed at an accredited
four-year institution and should be equivalent to a Wesleyan American Studies
program course. As a rule of thumb the course work you seek transfer credit for
should meet the following requirements:
- No fewer than ten books or comparable amounts of other reading
assigned;
- Papers
and/or exams involving essay-type questions;
- The subject or course content should not be offered by
Wesleyan.
If you wish to enroll in a course that does
not require as much reading and writing as a Wesleyan course, please discuss
this possibility with your advisor. In addition to the course’s normal
requirements you may, with your advisor’s permission, submit additional work or
a term paper to approximate a Wesleyan offering.
