Middlebury Handbook

Course registration deadlines for adding and dropping courses are published by the Office of the Registrar. Courses may be added through the 10th business day of the academic session. The normal full load for Middlebury Institute Online students is six credits per term.  Adding additional courses will result in additional tuition charges. 

Each term, enrolled students are registered by the Records Office, and following registration, students are automatically added to the course site.  Course sites typically open on the Friday before the start of the course session.

Students who wish to drop or withdraw from a course are solely responsible for doing so prior to any relevant drop deadlines. Note: without an official drop, tuition charges for the course remain due and payable. No record is kept of a course(s) that is dropped by 4 PM PT on the 10th business day of the academic session. No course(s) may be dropped after the 10th business day of a regular session, except when illness or other emergency requires a leave of absence or withdrawal from the Institute. Withdrawing from a course after the published deadline requires a petition for waiver of academic regulations. If granted, a “W” grade, which does not affect the GPA, will be recorded and tuition will remain due and payable.
