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 “guest” student. Guest 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 guest 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.
