Greetings, Class of 2025
If you can believe it, you will soon select courses for your senior fall semester! Fall 2024 course registration begins 4/2.
For some of you, the fall is your last semester at Wes; for others, you have two more semesters to go. Regardless of your graduation date, you must complete Wesleyan’s graduation requirements to earn your degree. To ensure you will complete graduation requirements, you must be familiar with your major certification form(s) and your credit analysis report – both found on WesPortal.
The credit analysis report will outline your progress towards completion of Wesleyan’s four graduation requirements, which are as follows:
- Completion of a major (managed through your major certification form)
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 74.00
- Minimum number of semesters in residence (six semesters for most students, four or five if a junior or sophomore transfer)
- 32 earned credits without oversubscription
What is oversubscription? Though Wesleyan has few graduation requirements, one requires students to earn 32 useable credits. Some credits earned are unusable if they do not fall within Wesleyan’s academic regulations, resulting in what is called oversubscription. Your credit analysis will tell you if you are oversubscribed in any category.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to know and understand these regulations. You are responsible for ensuring you complete all graduation requirements prior to your graduation date. Prior to course registration next week, you should look at your major certification form(s) and credit analysis report to ensure 1) you are taking the correct courses to complete your major(s) and 2) you are enrolling in credits that will count towards your degree (and not enrolling in credits that will violate oversubscription rules).
If you have any questions or concerns about this email or anything related to your academic career at Wesleyan, please talk directly with your faculty advisor or schedule an appointment with me as soon as possible.
I am so excited to see you folks walk across the stage at graduation next year – you are so close. Keep up the amazing work!
