Jan Term Travel Course Registration Procedures
Registration for Travel courses is conducted by lottery. As in the past, seniors will have the first opportunity followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Students will be selected in random order within their class for placement in travel courses.
Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at the time of registration to participate in a January Term travel course.
Students must file their course selection from in the Registrar’s Office with a receipt from the Business Office on the day your class is scheduled to register.
You may list TWO classes you’re interested in on your registration form (unless you’re only interested in one trip and don’t want to be waitlisted anywhere else).
Your deposit should reflect the cost of the most expensive trip for which you are trying to register.
Students will be randomly selected and registered in the order drawn on the morning after each class's designated registration day..
If a student’s first choice course is full they will be placed in their next choice (if the class is open) and wait listed for their first choice. Waiting lists for January Term travel courses is set at a maximum of 6 students.
Deposits are fully refundable only if:
- You do not get a place in travel course through the Registrar’s lottery; or
- Another student takes your place in the travel course from which you withdraw and your withdrawal does not incur expenses to the College or other students enrolled in the course.
Deposits cannot be refunded after the College has spent money to reserve air transportation, hotel accommodations, etc. Withdrawal from a travel course for any reason entails the loss of the deposit. The College will make every effort to refund any money which has not been spent, provided that your withdrawal does not incur additional expenses to the other students enrolled in the course.
Students wishing to enroll in travel courses that require an informational interview with the instructor before enrollment must have their course selection form signed by the instructor.
