(Deadline for input Thursday, July 25, 2024 by 4:30 p.m.)
You now have the opportunity to start the pre-registration process.(First phase is “planning.”)
Check out the New Student User Guide to Pre-registration. There is also a video guide to assisting you! The Registrar recently sent you an email with a good outline of the process.
This is an exciting time to explore and carefully consider courses that align with your academic interests and goals. As required Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Academic Road Map will help you make informed decisions and tailor your schedule accordingly.
To ensure a successful pre-registration experience, we recommend referring to the course registration information. This comprehensive resource provides detailed information about the pre-registration process. Should you have any questions or need guidance, Academic Peer Advisors (APAs) at (Peeradvisors@wesleyan.edu) for peer-to-peer help, the Office of the Registrar (registrar@wesleyan.edu) for technical issues only), and I are here to assist you every step of the way.
Resources to Assist You
As you begin exploring potential courses, I encourage you to utilize resources available in the Academic Road Map, including Advising at Wesleyan. These platforms offer valuable insights for various classes and provide a glimpse into the expertise and teaching styles of our esteemed faculty members.
Meeting with Your Pre-Major Advisor
In August, you will have the opportunity to meet with your assigned liberal arts advisor. This meeting will provide a personalized opportunity for you to discuss your class selections, seek guidance, and develop an academic plan tailored to your interests for the fall semester and beyond. Remember, this is an exciting time to shape your academic journey, and the course selection process is not set in stone at this stage. Enjoy exploring your options and feel free to adjust as you discover new interests and passions.

The First Year Matters common reading and response is now open to new first year students in WesPortal. The deadline is 5 p.m. on July 31. (This date may change to later in August.) This year’s selection is Braiding Sweetgrass. You can access the book by going into WesPortal and then into your Moodle account.
