The Student Activities Office hosts non-credit workshops during J-term each year. These workshops are short programs (up to 4 weeks), non credit bearing (with a few exceptions), and are put on for students, by students (and sometimes staff)!

Participation in Winter Term Workshops is free for all actively enrolled Middlebury students. Winter Term Workshops will run from January 5, 2026 – January 30, 2026.


Proposals for Winter 2026 Workshops are now being accepted!

If you are interested in leading a workshop, please submit a proposal in MiddPresence by Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

Registration for participation in 2026 Winter Term Workshops will open 12/8/25 at 12:00pm EST.

A full listing of all workshops and registration links is available in this year’s booklet COMING SOON.

To register for a workshop, visit go/ideal (unless another link is specified for that workshop in the booklet) and log in using your Single Sign On (SSO) credentials. Spaces for each workshop are available on a first come, first served basis. Registration will open on Monday, December 1st at noon and the deadline to register is Tuesday, December 16th.

While there isn’t a cost for these workshops, we ask you only register for workshops in which you intend to participate fully. For workshops offering a PE credit a minimum of 8 hours of participation is required.

Please email wtw@middlebury.edu with any questions.
