Five College Course Request

At this site an Amherst College student can prepare and print a request to take a course at Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College or the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.  

After printing the request, the student submits it to the Amherst College Registrar's Office along with his or her Preregistration or Add-Drop Card, having first obtained the instructor's signature if permission is required.

During pre-registration instructor's permission is required if the displayed course information so indicates; during the add-drop period instructor's permission is required for ALL Five College interchange courses.

Courses can be selected at this site from drop-down lists that include title, description, meeting time, and instructor.  Students may, however, prefer to choose their courses in advance using the more sophisticated search engines of the Five College Course Catalog or the on-line course catalogs of the individual host institutions.

No more than two Five College courses may be taken in any one semester.  Only liberal arts courses can be taken for Amherst College credit.
