The names of students closed
out of limited courses at the time of preregistration are
placed on a waitlist. Students interested in pursuing admission
must attend the first class meeting and obtain the permission
of the instructor.
Students who are unable to attend
the first class meeting and wish to be considered for a space
in the course should contact the instructor directly prior
to the start of classes. Instructors' email addresses can
be found on the Smith
College online directory.
Interchange students enrolling
in a special studies at Smith College must obtain approval
of the department chair by completing a special
studies registration form.
Interchange students may register
for a Smith course with a grading option of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory
by completing the appropriate form
at the Smith Registrar's Office. The permission of the instructor
(signature) is required and the form must be submitted by
the end of the ninth week of classes. Deadlines are posted
at http://www.smith.edu/registrar/dates.php.
A satisfactory grade is equivalent to a grade of C- or better.
Moodle accounts are automatically generated for preregistered students. If you preregistered, you should receive an email with a specific username and password.
Students who are adding courses at the beginning of the semester should visit the Smith registrar's office as soon as possible to process a temporary registration in the course. You will receive and email notifying you of your password and access to your Moodle account will be available the next day. Students must then be sure to register at their home institution.

Smith Calendar
Smith classes are rarely
cancelled because of poor weather conditions. Students may
consult the Smith College Information Line (585-4636) for
current information on delayed College openings, early closings,
or other events.
There are special holidays or
events for which some or all classes are cancelled. View the
Smith
College academic calendar for such occasions. Known special
days are Mountain Day* (morning and afternoon classes cancelled),
Otelia Cromwell Day (afternoon and evening classes cancelled),
and Rally Day (all classes cancelled).
* Mountain Day is a surprise break from classes. The president chooses a beautiful fall day and announces the holiday by ringing the college bells. Classes and academic appointments scheduled before 7 p.m. are canceled. Evening classes, films, lectures and other events will be held as planned. Mountain Day is usally held sometime in late September/early October (but before Autumn Recess). We recommend that Five College students check the Smith website or call the colleges' INFO line (585-INFO) after 7 am, where, on the appointed day, there will be a message letting people know it is Mountain Day.
Only a Smith College class dean
may authorize an extension for any reason beyond the end of
the final examination period. Individual instructors may only
grant extensions on work due during the semester through the
last day of final exams. Any Five College student who, for
reasons of illness, emergency or extenuating personal circumstances,
cannot complete his/her work by the end of the semester must
request an extension through the Smith College class deans
office. In cases of illness, the class dean may request the
student to obtain documentation from the Health Service at
the student's home campus.
Final examinations at Smith
College are primarily self-scheduled and are administered
during a scheduled exam period at the end of the semester.
Only courses involving slides, dictation or recordings are
scheduled. All students should be aware that they are not
permitted to complete examinations early and are not permitted
to make special arrangements with faculty to complete exams
outside the examination period. Five College students making
their end-of the-semester travel arrangements should be sure
that their plans do not conflict with the Smith examination
schedule. Exam information is posted at the Smith
registrar's office website .
