If you just want to take a class or two for credit you do not need to submit an admissions application: you may study as a “non-degree” student. Non-degree students enjoy all the same resources as all MassBay students with two exceptions: you are not eligible for financial aid or for varsity athletics.
Classes that do not list a location are offered online. MassBay’s online classes are asynchronous, which means that they do not have a set meeting day or time. These classes are *not* self-paced: you must keep up with the class schedule and submit assignments on time.
You must satisfy our Placement Requirements before registering for a math or English class.
Review our Tuition and Fees and payment information. Financial aid is not available for non-degree students, even if you receive federal aid at another college. You may be able to set up a payment plan with the Student Accounts Office.
If you would like assistance choosing a class please visit an Academic Advisor.
Once you are registered for class you will receive an email from registrar@massbay.edu with instructions on paying your bill and one from helpdesk@massbay.edu with your MassBay login credentials.
