Non-Degree

Wesleyan University offers the opportunity to take undergraduate courses on a non-degree basis. 

Non-degree students (currently identified in the Academic Regulations as "Community Scholars") take courses for credit on a non-degree basis. Individuals accepted for this category may enroll in up to four courses in fall and spring with the instructor's approval as long as their enrollment does not displace a degree-seeking student.

Non-degree students may also enroll in Summer and Winter Sessions (see the Summer Session website and the Winter Session website for the information).

Exceptional high school students may be permitted to enroll in an undergraduate course in fall and spring via Wesleyan's High School Scholars Program. This program offers outstanding juniors and seniors from local high schools the opportunity to take one course per semester, tuition free, at the University. Admitted students will be able to experience the intellectual rigors and stimulating dialogue that commonly take place in Wesleyan classrooms. Interested students are asked to contact their high school guidance department for more information.

Financial aid, housing and meal plans are not currently available to Non-degree students.
