Requirements

To ensure that high school students have the necessary and relevant classroom experience to enroll and be successful in a college course, the student should have a minimum 3.2 GPA and is required to submit an unofficial high school transcript for review by the Office of Part-Time and Continuing Studies prior to registering for a class. Transcripts may be scanned or sent as an attachment and emailed to ptadmiss@fairfield.edu. To enroll in any upper level credit course, prior faculty approval may be necessary before registration to be sure the necessary prerequisites for the course have been fulfilled. 

Once the course request and unofficial transcript have been reviewed and the student meets the University’s criteria for enrollment, they will be contacted by the Part-Time and Continuing Studies Admission Office with a link to generate their student NetID and become a visiting student.
