Interterm Courses at the Five Colleges
The Five College Interchange does not apply to Interterm courses.

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
You 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 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.
