Hampshire College

AUDITING A FIVE COLLEGE COURSE

At Amherst, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges:
DO NOT request the course online. An audit is a special arrangement between the student and the professor. The audit will not be recorded at Hampshire or at the other colleges.

At the University of Massachusetts:
By the end of the add/drop deadline, request the course online via TheHub, print out a permission form with AUDIT clearly written in large print at the top of the form, and submit the signed Five College request form to the Central Records office.
    

TAKING A FIVE COLLEGE COURSE PASS/FAIL

You must first request any Five College course online via TheHub. During preregistration, submit signed forms to Central Records for any courses listed as requiring instructor permission. During add/drop submit signed permission forms for ALL courses. 

Some of the other schools require you to declare a pass/fail option by the end of their own interchange periods, which can differ from Hampshire's interchange period. Check the Five College calendar for these dates.

TO DECLARE A PASS/FAIL OPTION AT:

Amherst College: 
By the end of the Amherst College interchange period, request the course as usual via TheHub and:

1. Pick up a pass/fail form at the Amherst Registrar’s Office at 101 Converse Hall.
2. Obtain instructor’s signature on the form.
3. Return just the pass/fail form to Amherst College. (Signed Five College request forms are returned to the Central Records office.)

You and the instructor will receive a copy of the form after the Amherst interchange deadline. Once the deadline passes, this decision is permanent.
