Admission

The GLSP offers two forms of admission: open enrollment or admission to degree candidacy.  Any student who has already completed a bachelor’s degree is welcome to register for GLSP courses through open enrollment.  New students may enroll beginning in any term:  fall, spring, or summer.  Students who wish to pursue a degree may apply for degree candidacy prior to taking GLSP courses or after taking a few.  For more information about degrees offered and applying for degree candidacy, please click here.

		Graduate Liberal Studies Program 284 High Street Middletown, CT 06459
4.	Students must also submit the following forms to the GLSP office prior to or at the time of registration:
	Provide official undergraduate transcripts.  Important note: official transcripts must be sent directly to the GLSP office by the degree-granting institution; and   Demonstrate compliance with the State of Connecticut’s criteria for immunity to measles and rubella (see section below on State Immunization Laws).
State Immunization Laws Connecticut State law requires that students registering at post-secondary schools demonstrate that they meet criteria of adequate immunization against measles and rubella.  Persons born before January 1, 1957 are exempt, as they are presumed to be naturally immune.  To demonstrate compliance with the state's immunization criteria students must submit to Wesleyan Student Health Services the following two items: (1) the GLSP cover sheet, and (2) one of the following forms of proof of immunity.  Proof of immunity may consist of the following: A certified laboratory report showing that the student has had protection against measles and rubella; or A signed letter from the student's physician stating that the student has had two doses of measles vaccine at least one month apart—the first dose received after 1968, the second dose received on or after January 1, 1980—and has had one dose of rubella vaccine.  The dates the doses were received must also be provided; or A signed letter from the student's physician stating that in the physician's opinion such immunization is medically contraindicated and the specific reason(s); or A signed letter from the student's physician, or from the director of health in the student's present or previous town of residence, stating that the student has had a confirmed case of such disease; or A signed affidavit from the student stating that such immunization would be contrary to his or her religious beliefs; or A photocopy of the student's high school diploma or transcript showing that the student graduated from a public or nonpublic high school in the state of Connecticut in 1999 or later. These documents may be mailed or hand delivered to Wesleyan Student Health Services at 327 High Street, Middletown, CT 06459 or faxed to 860-685-2471.  We recognize that students may learn of the GLSP too late to ensure that all of these forms are on file at the GLSP office prior to the first day of class.  Students may enroll and begin their first course in the GLSP prior to the delivery of these documents to Wesleyan Student Health Services.  This grace period will not extend to a second course.  If any of these documents have not been received at the completion of the student's first course, the student will not be eligible to register for a second course until the documents have been received. Wesleyan Student Health Services does not provide services to GLSP students beyond processing immunization compliance documentation.  If you need to have the MMR vaccination administered, you should speak with your regular physician.  Additional information about the state requirement is available on College Immunization Requirements (pdf) and on the Connecticut Department of Public Health Web site.
