On-line Registration for July 2019

Registration is open for the July 2019 session. Students registered for July 2019 should have pre-course assignment #1 posted to Bb by June 1, 2019. A second pre-course assignment is due in most courses by the first day of class. Please review the syllabus and the blackboard courses for directions. Housing information will be mailed the first week of June along with your invoice.

Be Sure you have the following information when you register for courses:

Signatures of your Local Pastor Registrar and DS: This format will automatically send an email to your LP registrar and your DS and they will respond directly to Wesley. You need to be sure that you have the correct email address for them to enter into the form at the correct place. You no longer have to chase them for their signatures or wait for the mail to arrive at Wesley. Click here for a listing of Local Pastor Registrars for the Northeast Jurisdiction.

Please be aware: To be officially registered, COS students must submit an online application and receive a hardcopy confirmation via mail from Wesley that their registration has been processed - not just received, but actually processed and in the system. We will send out confirmation notices beginning six weeks before each session begins. Syllabi will be posted on-line as we receive them from faculty.

On-line Weekend and Satellite School Registration Forms:

** Be sure to have the email addresses for your Conference LP Registrar and DS on hand
before you begin this process.
