VISITING STUDENTS
Students from other colleges/universities may attend William Paterson University as visiting students. The non-degree application with fee is the only documentation required for admission. However, students electing to register for courses that require prerequisite(s) must present transcripts to the respective WPU academic department(s) for permission to be granted.
A student who has been
dismissed or who is on academic probation from a
college or university may not enroll as a visiting
student at William Paterson University.
NOTE: In order for another institution to receive
a copy of the grade report, a transcript request must
be completed at the Office of the Registrar, College Hall, First Floor. Also, financial
aid is not available to visiting students.
A new application must be filed for each consecutive semester (both summer terms may
be applied for with one application).
Students may enroll in courses
on a space available basis only. Students who already
hold a baccalaureate degree and wish to take non-degree
courses (graduate or undergraduate) must contact the Office
of Graduate Admissions,
973.720.2237.
