Non-degree Seeking Students
If you are interested in taking a class as a non-degree seeking student, you should complete the Graduate Student Registration Form and submit to the Office of Academic Programs in Jones Hall, room 100.
You can view the courses that are offered by term in the Course Schedule. The schedule will provide you with details concerning when and where the course is taught, if it has openings, and who the instructor is.
The information outlined below is provided to answer some of the most pressing questions for non-degree seeking students.
Registration, email, blackboard
Registration is online. After you have been registered by the graduate registrar, you can make changes to your schedule.
Log into the College's portal, my.wm.edu. Through this portal, you an access email, Blackboard, and the student system (that provides your student record, allows you to register, etc.) After you are enrolled, you will receive a secure mailer that includes your WMuserID and password for logging into myWM. (You can also contact Information Technology at 757-221-HELP (4357). You will be instructed to change your password the first time you login. **If you previously attended William and Mary and already have a 6 character WMuserid, your instructions for logging in will be different. Your password should remain the same as it was previously. Please contact the help desk at 221-HELP if you encounter problems.
Additional instructions for the actual registration process are listed on the Registrar's website. Please let us know if you are having problems with this process. The School of Education, NOT the University Registrar's Office, will assist you with any issues you may encounter. Our graduate registrar is [[gepear, Gwendolyn Pearson]]. She can be reached by email or at 757-221-2316.

Billing and Payment Information Ebill
Bills are viewable online through the services tab on myWM! When your bill for the semester is ready for viewing, the Bursars Office will send an email to your William and Mary email address with instructions on how to open and view the bill. An email will also be generated to any third party email address (usually the party that pays the bill) that you have provided to the College. This will enable third party(s) to be notified when your bill is available. The email will include the amount due and the due date but it will *NOT* give them access to your online bill. It is your responsibility to get the billing information to the appropriate person(s). Typically fall semester bills are ready in mid-July with a due date in August and spring semester bills are ready in mid-December and are due in January. If there are any new charges to your account during the semester or your account balance is unpaid, a monthly bill will be generated. Additional information concerning your bill, payment options, etc. can be found on the financial operations website.
Parking and Bus Transportation
Parking decals may be purchased from the Parking Services Office on Ukrop Way (near the School of Education.) Anyone who parks a vehicle on campus must have a decal. Decals are priced according to student type and parking location. They can be reached at 757-221-4764.
A student may use his/her William and Mary ID to ride public bus transportation free to any location on the Williamsburg Transit bus route.
