INTERTERM REGISTRATION

 

Eligible students interested in taking a course during Interterm may register online according to the policies and procedures set forth for spring registration. Normally, only students enrolled at Smith College during both the fall and spring semesters are considered to be eligible.

Students are required to obtain their adviser's approval and, if necessary, the permission of the course instructor. Students should complete their interterm registration online according to the schedule established for spring registration in November. Interterm course offerings are included in the Interterm Schedule of Classes. The related course descriptions are published in the catalogue under the appropriate department's offerings and can be found in the online course catalogue.

ADD/DROP:  BannerWeb registration for Interterm will be accessible through the first day of the interterm period. Any course changes processed after the first day of classes will require the approval of the instructor, adviser and class dean. The add and drop deadlines vary from course to course and are posted below.  If students do not make their course changes online, approved add/drop forms should be submitted to the registrar's office by the appropriate deadlines.

Students should pay close attention to the specific deadlines for adding and dropping courses. No "W" will be recorded on the transcript. Any student who does not attend and remains registered in a course after the deadline to drop will receive an unsatisfactory grade in the course and the course will remain on her permanent record. A student needing to drop a course and who is not returning to campus should contact her class dean by the appropriate deadline to help her with the drop process.

S/U OPTION: The satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading option may be elected in interterm courses. Courses taken S/U will count toward the 16-credit maximum permitted for the degree. Students may declare the option at the time of registration. Changes in grading option may be made after the registration deadline with the permission of the instructor, adviser and class dean. The grading option may be changed at any time prior to the drop deadline listed below.

CREDIT MAXIMUM: Students may not enroll in more than four credits during any one interterm and may accrue no more than 12 approved Interterm credits at Smith or elsewhere toward their Smith degree.

FIVE COLLEGE COURSES: With the exception of UMASS, students may register for Five College interterm courses. Students must complete and submit an application form through BannerWeb by the end of the November advising period. Students should follow the instructions found under Five College Registration.

CREDIT ELSEWHERE: The college will consider for transfer credit academic Interterm courses taken at other non-interchange institutions beginning with courses taken in Interterm 2001 and later. The number of credits accepted for each Interterm course (normaly up to 3) will be determined upon review of the credits assigned by the host institution. Students should apply to the class dean for approval of transfer courses.

Students who do not attend and remain registered will receive an unsatisfactory grade.
