Graduation Plan Options

For Spring Entrants

If you are not taking courses elsewhere in the fall for credit transfer, you may:

• Complete your required number of credits at Mount Holyoke and graduate in December, 2012.
• Set up a plan for making up credits in consultation with an academic dean or faculty advisor in order to complete the 128 credits required for graduation in May 2012.
• Your plan may include summer school, a two-credit January term course, or an additional 2-4 credits beyond your 16-credit program, preferably after your first semester at Mount Holyoke.
• We do not recommend taking credit overloads, but it is sometimes possible to do so effectively with careful planning in your sophomore through senior year. 

If you have taken courses elswhere in the summer or fall, please go here for information about credit transfer. The credit transfer will count toward the 128 credits required for graduation. If you transfer in 16 credits, you will not need to follow any of the options above to graduate in May 2012.
