Information for Wesleyan Staff

Enrollment in GLSP courses is open to Wesleyan University faculty, administrators, staff, and their spouses/domestic partners.  For information about tuition benefits and to verify eligibility, please visit Human Resources.

A member of the Wesleyan University faculty or staff who lacks an undergraduate degree may enroll in those GLSP courses for which the student is academically prepared to succeed.  The GLSP will process the enrollment request, but the student will be enrolled as an undergraduate and will earn undergraduate-level credit.  This credit will not be applicable toward a graduate degree.  Students without undergraduate degrees are not eligible to matriculate for the MALS or CAS, but their credits may be transferred to an undergraduate degree program at another institution (subject to that institution's rules).

It is expected that spouses/domestic partners of Wesleyan University faculty or staff who lack a bachelor’s degree and wish to enroll in GLSP courses, will have approximately two years of college courses.  Such students shall apply for eligibility to enroll by submitting a general petition form, at least three weeks prior to the beginning of the first term of enrollment, which requests eligibility to enroll without a bachelor’s degree; this petition shall be accompanied by a writing sample of 5–7 pages.  Prior to submitting the petition, the applicant should interview in person with a GLSP dean.  If accepted, the GLSP will process the enrollment request, but the student will be enrolled as an undergraduate and will earn undergraduate-level credit.  This credit will not be applicable toward a graduate degree.  Students without undergraduate degrees are not eligible to matriculate for the MALS or CAS, but their credits may be transferred to an undergraduate degree program at another institution (subject to that institution's rules).

Information for Wesleyan Departmental Graduate Students
Departmental graduate students are eligible to enroll in one GLSP course per year.  Please see the office of Graduate Student Services for eligibility and details.

Information for Wesleyan Undergraduates
Wesleyan University undergraduates in their junior or senior years, and 12-college consortium juniors and seniors enrolled at Wesleyan, may apply for approval to register for GLSP courses using the Wesleyan Undergraduate Approval form.  The student must obtain approval signatures from the instructor, major advisor, class dean, and the GLSP director. 

In fall and spring, no additional tuition is assessed, the registration fee is waived, but the student must pay any additional course fees. In summer, Wesleyan undergraduates must pay full GLSP tuition and fees.  To register, undergraduates must submit a completed Wesleyan Undergraduate Approval form to the GLSP office along with a regular GLSP registration form. Undergraduate registrations are processed at the end of the GLSP registration period; graduate students taking courses for credit have priority over undergraduates.
