PARTICIPATING IN FOR-CREDIT
SUBJECTS
Each IAP, most MIT academic departments offer subjects for academic
credit. The information on this page is geared to MIT students,
and covers participation eligibility, IAP credit policies, important
credit registration dates, and instructions on reviewing subject
descriptions using the online IAP Guide.
Who Takes IAP For-Credit
Subjects?
- Full-time regular students in either the fall or spring terms
may take IAP subjects for no additional tuition charge. Students
do not have to take subjects to retain their student status between
fall and spring terms.
- New graduate students and undergraduate transfer students who
have been admitted for spring term, as well as returning students
who will be registered full-time in the spring, are eligible to
take IAP subjects, but should contact the Registrar's Office,
x8-6422, so that they may pre-register for IAP.
- As part of the Wellesley-MIT Exchange, Wellesley College students
may register for subjects offered in the Independent Activities
Period. In addition, MIT students may take credit subjects offered
as part of Wellesley's Wintersession. For further details on cross-registration,
see the IAP
Registration Information page.
IAP Credit Policy
- All students are limited to 12 units of credit during IAP.
- Only students registered in the fall or spring terms of the
academic year may receive IAP credit.
- The number of credit units awarded for each subject and the
grading policy are specified in the subject listing.
- Many subjects offer credit as "special topics." In
these cases, official descriptions may be obtained from faculty
members in charge of the subjects.
- Credit received by freshmen is not counted towards their fall
or spring semester limits.
Please note:
- Students wishing to participate in IAP for-credit subjects must
follow registration procedures.
- Certain deadlines apply for IAP credit registration. For complete
information, please refer to the IAP
2004 Dates to Remember page.
- Students who are not paying full tuition in either the fall
or spring term are subject to additional tuition charges and should
consult the Registrar's Office, MIT Room 5-119.
- Special students (students who are enrolled to undertake certain
studies but are not candidates for degrees) should consult the
IAP
section of the online MIT
Bulletin for information on their eligibility.
