About IAP Credit

Physical Education Classes

Grades

Faculty send final grades to the Registrar. Grades become available on WebSIS later that month. Students should contact their instructors to make sure grades are submitted. Grades will appear on students' official transcript under the subject's official MIT Bulletin title.

Cross-Registration

Cambridge University students participating in the Cambridge/MIT Undergraduate Exchange may participate in IAP for-credit subjects and non-credit activities. Cambridge students wishing to enroll in a for-credit subject must pre-register for IAP beginning on December 1, as do MIT students.

Credit guidelines for the Independent Activities Period are approved by the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Education. If you need more information, contact the Registrar's Office.
