NOTE: Blackboard is NOT the same thing as Banner registration. Blackboard is a site used by some (but not all) professors to communicate class assignments, syllabi, grades, etc. If you do not have a class listed under Blackboard, it does not mean that you are not registered for that class. You must check the Banner registration screen to find your listing of classes. If the professor is using Blackboard and you do not have access to that class, please check with the professor.

1. How do I register if I am an unclassified, non-matriculating student and just wish to take a course?

The School of Education offers classes that may be taken by anyone with a bachelor's degree.  Some classes are restricted to matriculating students, or require the permission of the instructor.  Many classes, however, are open to anyone wishing to enroll.  First-time registration is done in-person in the Office of Admission and Professional Services in Jones Hall, room 100.  Once you are in the system, you may register on-line through the web from any computer in the following semesters.  A listing of classes which are offered during a semester may be found on the Registrar's web site at:
http://www.wm.edu/registrar/registration.php.

Descriptions and restrictions on the classes offered may be found in our catalog at:
http://www.wm.edu/education/forms/catalog2006.pdf beginning on page 66.

Summer registration for those seeking to enroll in a course that are not in the College's registration system: You may register in person beginning the week the class begins.  Simply bring the registration form, and the domicile form for in-state rates (if applicable), to Jones Hall, room 100 and we will register you. The office is open from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. All registration for graduate level education classes is done in the School of Education.

Unclassified students who have taken classes during the previous semester and are in the College's registration system can pre-register or register on-line via http://my.wm.edu.

5. I'm having difficulty registering for a class and/or the class is closed.

Contact the professor responsible for the class. If further problems occur, please visit Jones 100.

6. Can I drop or withdraw from classes if I am receiving financial aid?

Enrollment implications - Please be aware that in most cases, financial aid awards are determined based on full time enrollment. If you drop below full time enrollment status, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid (757-221-2420) to be sure you understand how this will affect your financial aid. Financial aid is not available for those enrolled less than half time.

 

7. I am an undergraduate and I'd like to take a Master's level education class.

To take a graduate course, you must obtain instructor permission and then visit the Undergraduate Dean of Arts and Sciences.

 

8. I'm an undergraduate and wish to take a 5th year to complete a Master's degree in a teacher licensure program.

10. Can I take courses for licensure only?

William and Mary has no licensure-only programs. Candidates for initial elementary or secondary teacher licensure as well as licensure for administration and supervision must be enrolled in a degree-granting program. Non-degree seeking individuals are permitted to take certain classes in the teacher and administrator licensure programs but cannot complete the entire sequence required for licensure until they are admitted to the School of Education as a degree-seeking student. Following completion of a degree program, a student may apply for the state of Virginia licensure through our Office of Professional Services.

11. Where is the Peninsula Center and what classes are offered there?

Selected courses in the EPPL K-12 administrative licensure program are taught at the Peninsula Center each semester. Other classes taught at the Peninsula Center are generally those for which school divisions have contracted with William and Mary faculty to teach classes for their employees. Because the school division partially funds the class, only designated employees of that school division may enroll in the class. If you have questions about a class being taught at the Peninsula Center, please call the Office in Jones 100 at 221-2317.
