Independent Projects

General Guidelines 

• The program/course must meet a minimum of 4 complete weeks (regardless of the total number of meeting hours) to earn a maximum of one unit of Middlebury credit. The program/course must meet for at least the same number of hours, over the four weeks, as an equivalent Middlebury course. Programs/courses that meet more than 36 hours will NOT receive additional credit.

• Only a program/course that meets the definition of “liberal arts,” and in which the student receives a grade of C– or better, may be applied to the Middlebury College degree.

• Programs/courses graded on a pass/fail or audit basis are NOT transferable.

• The grade earned will appear on your Middlebury transcript and will be counted in your GPA.

• The transcript reflecting work completed must be from an accredited institution of higher education.
