No.  You can add two courses in the same department to your list, however, per College policy, you will only be placed in a maximum of one course in a single department. 

• White (no background) indicates a course with no listed prerequisites; note that even if a course is numbered in the 200’s or 300’s, if it has no prerequisites, it is open to you! 
• Green ☆ indicates a course for which you meet prerequisites. 
• ⚠ Yellow indicates a course with prerequisites that our records don’t show you meeting.    You can add such a course to your list, but you will not be placed in a course with pre-reqs unless you meet the prerequisites or have received an override. 

Only courses open to first-year students appear on the course preference selection list.  In addition, courses that are full (aka have no seats available) do not appear on the list, nor do courses that cannot be scheduled due to a time conflict with your first-year seminar. 

Yes, you can add up to 20 courses to your list. 

You must add at least 15 courses to your list so that you can be assigned to a full schedule. Listing fewer than 15 courses could limit the possibility of getting into 3 courses. 

No. Students have the full course preference selection window to build their list, including positioning courses within the list.  Once the window closes, no changes can be made. 

No. You will be placed in sections that best fit your schedule, space permitting.  For example, if you are interested in taking Introduction to Psychology, you will add PSYC 0105 to your list (not PSYC 0105 A, PSYC 0105 B, PSYC 0105 C, etc). 

At Middlebury, students may use pre-college test scores for course placement purposes.  Middlebury does not award academic credit for pre-college tests.  Students who requested their test scores be sent to Middlebury will receive an email from the Registrar’s Office before Orientation confirming the scores we received.  If you have questions about whether Middlebury received your scores, or if you do not receive an email from the Registrar’s Office before your arrival on campus, contact us at registrar@middlebury.edu.

Be sure to click Save each time you add new courses to your list.
