Williams College Cross-Enrollment Procedure

Any student in good academic standing can apply; however, priority will be given to juniors and seniors.
Students must be in good academic standing to participate in the cross-enrollment program. Students who are on Academic Warning or Academic Probation are not eligible to apply for cross-enrollment.
Students' academic standing will be evaluated after grades are posted for the term; if a student is placed on Academic Warning or Probation, their cross-enrollment approval may be revoked.
Students must be in good disciplinary standing in order to participate in cross-enrollment, and cannot be the subject of any ongoing student conduct or Title IX proceedings.

Students should review curriculum on Williams’ website to choose a course. The Williams College catalog can be found here. The chosen course must apply to the student’s plan at Bennnington. Note: One Williams course is equivalent to four Bennington credits.
Once course has been selected, submit the Williams College Cross-Enrollment Application.
After the cross-enrollment application has been submitted, the completed application will be reviewed by the Registrar's Office.
Deadlines: applications must be submitted by May 1 for fall courses and December 1 for spring courses. Note that late applications will not be accepted.
The Registrar will review the application and contact students in mid-May (for fall courses) or mid-December (for spring courses), letting them know of approval or denial.
If approved, the Registrar will notify students via email. Students will then need to obtain Williams’ approvals for the course (the course instructor and Williams’ Registrar).
After the approvals from Williams are obtained, the visiting school's Registrar's Office will confirm approval.
Students who are approved are registered for a four-credit place-holder course at Bennington prior to the start of the term.
When the course at Williams is complete, an official transcript is sent to Bennington. The Registrar reviews and awards transfer credits, and removes the student from the place-holder course.

Students must earn a grade of ‘C’ or better in the course to obtain transfer credit.
Approved students should ideally register for 12 credits at Bennington in addition to the cross-enrolled course.
Students are limited to one cross-enrolled course per term.
The cross-enrollment agreement covers the cost of tuition only; students are responsible for any additional fees (such as those pertaining to labs or music lessons).
Students who have been approved to enroll in Williams classes in the spring will need to coordinate on-campus housing. Please contact Housing for additional information.
Transportation to and from Williams is not provided. Students are responsible for arranging their own transportation.
