Course Grades, Tuition Payment & Receipts...
Students may view their academic transcripts online and print unofficial copies. Official transcripts must be requested in writing. Enrolled students, who know their Interact log-in and PIN number, can easily log into their Wilkes accounts and follow the appropriate links to grades, payments and receipts. Newly registered students are sent an instruction letter from the Office of the Registrar/Recorder after their first semester begins. If you do not know your PIN (necessary to access your account), visit our ITS Help area for more information. For payment questions, please contact the Student Service Center at 570-408-2000. 
 
Email account
A currently registered graduate-education student is eligible for a Wilkes e-mail account. Contact the Wilkes University Help Desk to ask for your account information.

If you do not register for a class for the subsequent semester, your e-mail account will removed at the end of the semester. 
 
Library Access
As a Wilkes student, you can access numerous databases, such as EbscoHost, Lexis-Nexis, CQ Electronic Library, and Tax.CCHgroup.com for your research needs. Please visit the library pages for (much) more information.

Weather Cancellation
Winter months always present the possibility of weather-related problems. Cancellation of class due to snow/ice follows the cancellation decision of your host site/school district.

Wilkes on-campus class cancellation information is available on an inclement weather hotline at 570-408-SNOW.

Cancellation of class for holidays/breaks is determined by when your host school is closed. 
 
Name Change
A name change cannot be made in the Wilkes computer system until we receive a photocopy of either a marriage certificate, social security card, divorce decree or other legal document for our records. Mail a copy to the Wilkes University Graduate Education Office and we will process your name change to be reflected on transcripts, grade reports, etc. 
 
Address Change
Please contact us directly at the Graduate Education Office. Address changes are accepted by telephone. We can process the address change in both the main Wilkes computer system and in our department database, which we use to print mailing labels for each semester's registration materials. 
 
Change of Status from Non-Degree to Degree
If you've been taking courses as a non-degree student but now want to enroll for the master's degree, you don't need to re-pay the application fee but must submit a new Wilkes graduate application as a degree-seeking candidate as well as sending us the required official transcripts and two letters of recommendation. See Admission Requirements.

Change Major
If you are a currently enrolled student but want to change your major, you must submit a Change of Major Form, with your name and WIN#, indicating the new degree program in which you now wish to be enrolled.

Request for an extension  to complete degree requirements
Satisfactory completion of all requirements for a degree is to be completed within six calendar years preceding the date of the granting of the degree. If an extension of the six-year limit is needed, a Program Extension Request Form should be completed and submitted along with a letter explaining the need for an extension.

A Second Wilkes MS in Education Degree
If you have a previous Master's degree from Wilkes University, or are a currently enrolled graduate student and want to work toward a second major, call the Graduate Education office to discuss program requirements and for transcript review. You will need to write a letter stating your intention to work on a second degree and submit an updated Wilkes Graduate Application. You do not need to re-pay the application fee. Previously submitted recommendations and transcripts will be acceptable if you are a recent graduate.

Up to 12 credits only of previous course work used to satisfy the requirements for your first Wilkes master's degree may be applied toward a second Wilkes degree. However, all catalog program and course credit requirements must be fulfilled. It is very important that you contact us to discuss degree requirements and to design a program plan to insure you register for appropriate courses necessary to complete a second degree.
