All Students Must Participate in Winter Term Registration
What Counts toward Winter Term Credit?
Students are required to earn Middlebury credits during at least two winter terms. All first-year students must enroll in a Winter Term course their first winter term at Middlebury. This includes both February 2009 and September 2009 matriculants. The second credit may be earned by enrolling in a Winter Term course, a credit-bearing independent project, a credit-bearing internship, or by studying abroad and earning winter term equivalent credit. A minimum of two and a maximum of four winter term course credits will count toward the graduation requirement of 36 course credits. Even if you opt out of Winter Term, you must still complete 36 course credits before you graduate.
How will the College know I am “opting out” of Winter Term?
Students who elect not to participate in Winter Term MUST still participate in Winter Term registration by enrolling in the following No-Credit, “Opt-Out” option (CRN: 10496).
CRN 10496 WNTR 0000 No-Credit Not On Campus Winter
Students registering for this No-Credit option will not receive academic credit during winter term, and will not be eligible to remain on campus. This option is not available to students who are participating in their first winter term, i.e., students who entered Middlebury in the Spring or Fall 2009. Questions concerning this No-Credit option should be directed, via email, to registrar@middlebury.edu
*** Students who are not earning credit during Winter Term MUST register for this No-Credit option.
Note: Students participating on a Middlebury College Winter Team Sport MUST be enrolled in an academic credit-bearing course during Winter Term!
Can I Stay on Campus?
Unregistered students and students registered for this “Opt-Out” course may not remain on campus during the winter term session.
What If I’m Waiting for Independent Project or Internship Approval?
Register, Register, Register! If you are waiting for approval on a proposed independent project or internship, register for a Winter Term course in case the proposal is denied. If your independent project or internship is approved after the BannerWeb registration period has ended, you will then need to submit an add card to the Registrar’s Office for the independent project or internship section that is assigned to your adviser. The Registrar’s Office will drop you from the course you initially registered, creating a space for another interested student.
