Q.  I will be using the pre-registration system for the first time.  What do I need to know?

A.  Pre-registration is the first phase of Wesleyan’s course registration process.  During pre-registration students may enroll in no more than 4.00 full credit courses (excluding private music lessons and partial-credit courses).  Pre-registration takes place during November and April, for the next semester, for students who are on-campus and during January and August, just prior to the start of classes, for new students and students returning from non-resident study or a leave of absence.  Students may then continue to adjust their course schedules during the second phase of Wesleyan’s course registration process, the in-semester drop/add period.  For more information about pre-registration, read our FAQ: http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/preregFAQ.html

Q. Where can I find out more information about the electronic drop/add system?

A. Visit the Drop/Add FAQ page: http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/dropaddFAQ.html

Q. I need to order a transcript.  How can I do this?

A. We will need a signed, written request.  The best way to do this is to use the Transcript Request Form which can be mailed or brought to the Registrar’s Office.  Because we are required to have a signed release, we cannot process telephone or e-mail requests.  More information about transcript requests may be found here: http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/transreq.html

Q. My insurance company wants me to send proof that I’m a student.  What does this mean?

A. Because many dependents are eligible for coverage through their parent or guardian’s insurance as long as they remain full-time students, insurance companies frequently request letters from the institution the student is attending which certify that the student is in compliance.  The Registrar’s Office cannot verify enrollment for a given semester until a student has officially enrolled at Wesleyan for that semester. 

Students may now print a proof of enrollment letter through their portfolio.  Log in to your portfolio, navigate to Enrollment Status and click on Enrollment Verification.  You will be connected to the National Student Clearinghouse Student Self Service site login, where you will need to provide your name, date of birth, and social security number.  This is a secure site which can only be accessed by you.  Please note that Wesleyan has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse, a highly trusted non-profit organization, for all enrollment verification services.  If you choose not to use the self-service application, you may request certification of enrollment electronically or by downloading the Certification of Enrollment form: http://www.wesleyan.edu/registrar/CertificationRequestForm.pdf.  Please provide a mailing address where the letter should be sent.

If enrollment verification is required between semesters, particularly during the summer months, the Registrar’s Office can produce a provisional letter stating that the student is expected to enroll for the upcoming semester, provided that the student has been admitted to and accepted admission to Wesleyan for the upcoming year or is a continuing student in good standing. This provisional letter is typically accepted by insurance companies. The Registrar’s Office will then follow-up with a letter confirming enrollment once the semester has started and the student has officially enrolled.  If you are requesting a provisional enrollment verification, please note this on the request form under special instructions.
