  • OBTAINING AN APPLICATION
  • 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.

      You may apply online or download an application by clicking on the button at the upper right corner of this page, or by selecting the link on the left hand navigation bar above.

  • HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
    • Currently enrolled high school students who wish to attend William Paterson University prior to graduation must meet the following requirements: PSAT/SAT scores = 100/1000, top 15 percent of high school class, letter of recommendation from a guidance counselor or principal stating the student's ability to handle college-level work, and authorization to attend William Paterson University.

      Students must complete the non-degree (high school student) application and return it to the admissions office with the appropriate documents. Once the admissions office receives these materials, a letter of acceptance and information regarding registration will be mailed to the student's home address. There is no application fee for the undergraduate summer non-degree application.
