Short-Term Study Abroad Programs

Review transfer credit guidelines in the College Handbook. If your program meets the requirements outlined in the Handbook (e.g., number of weeks and hours, etc.), you can apply for credit preapproval. Contact International Programs for more information and application information. See additional information below.

General Guidelines 

• All courses must meet for a minimum of 4 weeks, must carry at least 3 semester credits or 5 quarter credits, and meet for at least the same number of class hours as an equivalent/similar Middlebury course. [N.B.: language, laboratory science, studio art, introductory economics and calculus, and some other courses at Middlebury meet for more than the standard 30-36 hours per semester.] Courses that do not meet these minimum requirements are NOT transferable.
• 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.
• Online or remote courses are not eligible for transfer credit.
• 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.
• Please see the Middlebury College Handbook for full details and requirements for credit.
