Our mission at the class deans office is to help you make the most of your time at Smith. We will work with you to identify and clarify academic options and requirements, and we’ll help you when you have difficulties with your classes. We oversee departmental honors, offer advice about transfer credits, communicate with faculty regarding extensions and suggest ways to resolve academic issues or problems. We work closely with the registrar’s office to ensure that you are meeting your degree requirements.
