Course of Study Satellite School
The Wesley Course of Study program has updated the course schedule. We will offer each of the 20 courses twice; once during the July term and once in a weekend format split between the Wesley DC campus and the Upper NY location. Courses through the winter session of 2022 will remain fully on-line. We *may* return to some in person courses in the spring session. Please check the Blackboard site for instructions after the first of the year. All weekend courses can be registered for using a single form found below. Syllabi will be posted to the Wesley Theological Seminary website at https://www.wesleyseminary.edu/course-of-study-current-students/.
Questions and requests for transcripts should be addressed to Yasika Bigham at cosregistration@wesleyseminary.edu.

General Information About Courses
-
Minimum enrollment requirement of 6 students per course. Full refunds (including registration fee) will be granted if a course is cancelled because of insufficient enrollment.
-
Course syllabi will be posted on the Wesley Seminary website site approximately 3 months prior to the beginning of each course.
-
Students are expected to acquire books for courses on their own, since there is no bookstore on campus. Normally books can be ordered through Cokesbury or other online resources. Wesley also uses Blackboard, and on-line learning tool. You will receive log on information after we receive your first registration. Please contact the Instructor of the course or the Course of Study office at Wesley Seminary if you have questions.
-
It is expected that a significant portion of the reading, and written assignments, will be completed by the first meeting of class. Please be sure to study the syllabus for each course as soon as it is posted to allow sufficient time for preparation.
