Non-Matriculated Students

• Prerequisites

  Non-matriculated students are also subject to the same course prerequisites and School permissions as Wentworth's degree-seeking students, so it is important to understand the requirements for any course you are interested in taking.  Course prerequisites can be found in the  Academic Catalog.  The non-matriculated applicant must submit to Wentworth official transcript(s) from the colleges/universities they have attended to prove that they have met the prerequisite for the requested course. 

• Credits

  Non-Matriculated students may enroll in up to 8 credits per semester and are permitted to earn a maximum of 12 credits in a non-matriculated status. If you are interested in applying for a degree program after taking courses at Wentworth, you should complete an Undergraduate Admission Application or a Graduate Admissions Application.

• Tuition

  Per credit cost for undergraduate and graduate courses may vary, please view our Tuition & Costs webpage for more information.  

  Payment in full, or enrollment in a monthly payment plan option must be made prior to each semester’s due dates. The tuition payment deadlines are shown on the table below.

  Semester	Tuition Payment Deadline
  Fall	August 1
  Spring	December 1
  Summer	April 1

   

  Late payment fees are assessed to past due EBills. For more information, please visit Holds, Late Payments, and Registration on the Student Financial Services website.  
  
  If you are registered after the semester’s due date and before the start of the semester, payment in full is expected on your EBill within 48 hours of the charges being assessed on your EBill. If your EBill reflects a past due balance, you will be dropped from the course.  

• Application Denial

  If your application has been denied, you must submit a new application for reconsideration. Applications are denied due to the reasons below:

  1. The course is at its seat capacity  
  2. Prerequisite(s) not met
  3. Add/drop deadline for the course has passed 

• Add/Drop Deadlines

  Add/drop deadlines are strictly enforced. Please review the Academic Calendar and familiarize yourself with important deadlines.
