Interterm Courses at the Five Colleges
The Five College Interchange does not apply to Interterm courses. If you plan on taking courses in Interterm on one of the other campuses, you must have your courses approved by the registrar's office for transfer to your Smith degree and you must register at that campus and pay their course fees/tuition.
Add/Drop
Interterm 2021 - Registration will be available during August, September add/drop, and January add/drop registration periods.
All adds and drops can be processed online through BannerWeb through the posted deadlines.
Pay close attention to the specific deadlines for adding and dropping courses. 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.
Credit Maximum
Interterm 2021 - You can register for up to 6 credits for the extended interterm but may not exceed 24 credits combined between the Fall 2020 and Inteterm 2021 terms.
You cannot accrue more than 12 approved interterm credits at Smith or elsewhere toward your Smith degree.
S/U Option
The satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading option may be elected in interterm courses with the permission of the instructor and submission of a signed form. Courses taken S/U will count toward the 16-credit maximum permitted for the degree.
Transfer Credit
The college will consider for transfer credit academic interterm courses taken at other non-interchange institutions. The number of credits accepted for each interterm course (normally up to three) will be determined upon review of the credits assigned by the host institution. Courses must be apporved by the registrar's office for transfer to the Smith degree.
