What do I do if I won't have internet access to participate during Summer Registration

You should contact the Orientation Office immediately (860-685-5666) or email (orientation@wesleyan.edu). They will then explore your options and assist you through the process.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

You should contact the Orientation Office immediately (860-685-5666) or email (orientation@wesleyan.edu).

There is a dedicated staff of professionals and interns who can answer your questions. When necessary, they will get you in touch with the appropriate person in another office.

Does someone have to approve my FYI & non-FYI ranked plans?

NO. You will compile your rankings and submit them without getting any approval. However, the Academic Affairs will review your course enrollments and advisor assignment to determine if those best meet your needs. Please note that this is the ONLY Registration phase that does not require advisor approval.

Does it matter if I take a Spring FYI, rather than a Fall FYI course?

NO. You are able to take an FYI either semester.

Can I get enrolled in Additional non-FYI Courses during Summer Registration?

NO. Any listed "Additional Courses" will NOT become Summer Registration course enrollments. However, they will automatically appear in your Pre-Registration plan, so you can attempt to gain entrance at that time.

Should I rank more than 7 Courses?

YES. These "Additional Courses" will automatically appear in your Pre-Registration plan, which will assist you and your advisor in designing the most appropriate plan. When you arrive on campus in August you will have a busy Orientation schedule, so please use Summer Registration to alleviate August's work.

When will I know my Summer Registration results?

You will be able to access your Summer Registration results in August before Pre-Registration. You will receive communication that will alert you to this.

What do I do if I change my mind and no longer want to be in a course I got during Summer Registration?

During August Pre-Registration and September's Drop/Add, you will have the ability to alter and change your Summer Registration course enrollments. However, you are encouraged to meet with your Faculty Advisor before deleting any course. Please note that during Pre-Registration these are already confirmed enrollments. So please be cautious in deleting them. Once you confirm cancelling your enrollment, there is no way to automatically re-enroll you in that course.

Do I have to take an FYI course?

NO. However, you are strongly encouraged to take an FYI course. These are small seminar courses that include only First Year students, so they serve as an important and useful tool in your transition to college.

Why are some non-FYI classes not available during Summer Registration?

During Summer Registration much of the Wes curriculum is available to you. However, some courses are not available. For instance, Permission of Instructor and Required Prerequisites courses require a face to face with the instructor, which cannot be done in June and July. Also, instructors have the authority to set up class bins and may not want to include First Years.

Please note that the available curriculum will expand during Pre-Registration and drop/add.

How do I navigate to Summer Registration in my portfolio?

 After logging into EPortfolio off the Wes home page (https://wesep.wesleyan.edu/cgi-perl/session.cgi), you will open the Summer Registration link in the New Student Programs bucket.

How do I add ranked course selections?

Non-FYI courses can only be added through WesMaps. Please click the "Add to My Courses" button on the respective course's home page. 

How do I re-order the ranking of a course?

Once a course is in your plan, you are able to alter the rankings using the pull down menu to the left of each course. You even have the option to "Unrank" a selection and move it to the Additional Courses list. Simply click delete if you are no longer interested in a course.

How many ranked Intro course selections can I add?

Each student is only able to rank 7 intro courses. However, there is no limit for the number of "Additional Courses". These additional courses will automatically appear in your Pre-Registration plan.
