WESMaps:
Your Guide to the Curriculum
WESMaps is a Web-based view of the curriculum. This
system provides information about the courses offered
each semester. Each course entry includes a description,
class schedule, prerequisites, general education
designations, and the instructor's name. WESMaps is
organized to provide a multifaceted approach to the
curriculum that allows you to identify courses that have
interrelated themes across departments and programs.
Information about courses can be obtained by departments,
programs, or by the instructor's name.
WESMaps is the best means for you to identify those
courses whose content, assigned capabilities, general
expectations, and focus are of interest to you. Post the
courses that you identify in your Electronic Portfolio so
that your faculty advisor can assess them before meeting
with you to discuss your goals for the semester and
develop an academic plan.

E-Portfolio:
It's All About You and Much More
As a Wesleyan student, you have your own personal
Electronic Portfolio (or E-Portfolio) on the Web. It
includes pages of academic information and plenty of
space for you to add files, documents, and additional
information. It also gives access to e-mail and provides
some other tools like a personal calendar. Because it's
Web-based, your E-Portfolio is available to you anywhere
in the world! From the Wesleyan University Home Page at
www.wesleyan.edu click on “Portfolio Sign-In ”
at the top right corner of the page. It will bring you to
the Switchboard. Type in your Wesleyan e-mail username
and password, and click “Enter Portfolio
”—you're in!
Contact E-Portfolio support by e-mailing e-portfolio@wesleyan.edu
or calling 685-2352.

Online
Registration: Here's How It Works
The graduate online registration system consists of two
distinct periods: reservation and advisor
authorization periods. The system is designed to provide
equal access to courses with limited enrollments. To
achieve this goal, the available seats for each class are
divided evenly among each registration session. The
system provides a real-time response so that reserved
seats are occupied immediately and are not available to
other students.
In the reservation period, students
build coherent course schedules during 45-minute online
sessions. During the advisor authorization period,
students and advisors review the course reservations
online and make adjustments. All remaining seats are
available, and students may add courses at this time.
Electronic authorization by the advisor is required to
complete the process. For a list of the important
registration dates, please go to: http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/registrationcalendar.html.

Advisor
Authorization: You Cannot Complete Registration Without
It
Advisor authorization is the final step of the online
registration process, when your faculty advisor
finalizes your course reservations for the coming
semester. It ensures that you and your advisor have had
the chance to discuss your program of study and how it
relates to your educational goals. It is also an
opportunity to add a course that might not have had a
seat available during the course reservation period.

How
and When to Withdraw from a Course
You may decide to terminate your registration in a
course for any number of reasons, such as illness, family
emergency, or an inability to fulfill the requirements
for the course. Students have the first 10
weeks of the semester to determine whether they need to
withdraw from a course. If you withdraw from a course,
you will receive a “W,” which will be recorded
on your transcript.
Check the academic calendar for withdrawal deadlines. A student
who has compelling reasons to withdraw from a course after the deadline
may submit a petition to the Graduate Office.

Degree Requirements
It is your responsibility as a graduate student to apprise
yourself of the degree requirements of your program of study.
These requirements vary by program and department.
