  • 5A Few Bold Institutions
    THE FIVE COLLEGE CONSORTIUM A few bold 5institutions In 1965, the Pioneer Valley’s four colleges, 1. Amherst College, 2. Mount Holyoke College, 3. Smith College, and the 4. University of Massachusetts Amherst, were experimenting with innovative ideas in higher education. One of those ideas was 5. Hampshire College, a radical student-centered model. The big idea, though, was sharing resources through an inter-college consortium. So what does that mean now? Your resources are multiplied by five. You can take classes, borrow books, play club sports, eat food, join clubs, and attend events at the other four campuses. You’ll make friends all across the Pioneer Valley. And for a college where students create their own programs of study, this is especially awesome. 3 WHO WE ARE The (really, really) 4,600+ big picture cross registrations for classes this year 30,000 undergraduate students Hampshire College Amherst College Mount Holyoke College foreign- 2,200+ Smith College 4 language faculty members UMass Amherst Five College majors: 70+ offerings Architectural Studies 5 Astronomy campuses Dance Film Studies 900+ student groups 9 million volumes within the Five College Library System 6 average number of 75+ courses Hampshire 17 intercollegiate students take in the certificate programs sports teams consortium over their four years 4 5 In addition to promoting each institution’s majors and programs, Five Colleges, Inc. sponsors learning centers, collaborative programs, additional certifications, and accelerated master’s programs.

  • Transcript Explanation and Key Transcript Contents Credit Recommendation Explanation of Courses Header Explanation of Completion
    Central Records (Registrar) 893 West Street | Amherst, MA 01002 | 413.559.5421 | f 413.559.5736 | [email protected] | hampshire.edu/centralrecords Transcript Explanation and Key Hampshire College is a private four-year liberal arts college located in Western Massachusetts, distinguished among colleges for its non- traditional academic program designed to support students in pursuing a personalized program of study. Students progress through a three-tiered system of divisions rather than the traditional freshman through senior levels. Division I is Hampshire’s first year program, designed to introduce students to a variety of liberal arts study areas. Division II is the middle two years of the education in which students complete a self-designed concentration of studies. In Division III, the final year, students undertake an extensive independent project of their own design. In both Division II and III, students work under the supervision of a two-person faculty committee. Hampshire College students receive narrative evaluations in lieu of grades for successfully completed courses. Upon completion of each Division, they also receive a comprehensive narrative evaluation of their work from the chairperson of their faculty committee. (Transfer students do not receive a Division I evaluation.) The Hampshire transcript consists primarily of these evaluations, but may also include documentation for study away from campus, internships, and other educational activities. Because of Hampshire’s method of evaluating student work, no grade point average (GPA) or class rank appears on the Hampshire transcript or any other official documentation produced by the College. Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Consortium, which includes Amherst, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

  • Academic Regulations
    Mount Holyoke College Catalog 2015-2016 Academic Regulations Mount Holyoke students are expected to be fully acquainted with the policies affecting their academic and nonacademic lives on campus. Policies are published in this Bulletin, the Student Handbook, and in Faculty Legislation. New policies are published on the registrar’s website. Registration and Class Attendance Students register for the next semester following academic advising periods. Courses may be added only during the first ten days of classes. Students may withdraw from courses through the first ten weeks of classes. Through the fifteenth day of classes, courses from which the student has withdrawn will not appear on the student’s academic record. After the fifteenth day of classes, withdrawals from courses require the approval of the instructor and will appear on the student’s record, with the notation “W.” After the fiftieth day of classes, students may withdraw from courses only with the authorization of the director of health services, the director of the counseling service, or the dean of the College and with the approval of the instructor. Courses recorded with the notation “W” will not affect a student’s grade average. Regular class attendance is expected of all students unless an individual instructor suspends this expectation. Deadlines for adding and withdrawing from courses that begin midsemester, such as half-semester physical education courses, fall midway through the term and are listed on the academic calendar on the registrar’s website. Course Load and Credits The normal program for undergraduates is 16 academic credits per semester. Students carrying fewer than 12 credits are considered part-time.

  • Five College Queer Gender + Sexuality Conference
    The 5 th Annual Five College Queer Gender + Sexuality Conference Friday March 7 th + Saturday March 8 th 2014 Hampshire College Franklin Patterson Hall About The Five College Queer Gender and Sexuality Conference is student-led, and aims to offer an accountable and supportive environment to further explore a wide range of topics and their intersections, such as race, genders, sexualities, ability, class, kink, survival strategies, and many more, in a specifically queer context. The Queer Conference strives to provide a safer space for engaging, learning, and fostering community with a wide range of workshops, panels, performances, and lectures by student leaders, Five College faculty and staff, off-campus educators, and nationally-known performers, activists, speakers, and scholars. As we enter our fifth year we are proud of the tremendous level of support we receive from students, faculty, staff and administration throughout the Five College Consortium. We are committed to making this wonderful conference financially accessible, and are able to offer this as a free public event because of the generosity and time of volunteers and donors from the Five Colleges and beyond. Starting as a single day conference, we have grown into a two-day event that attracts attendees not only from the Five Colleges, but from communities outside of the Pioneer Valley as well. Our feedback has been strong and positive with many people grateful for something that is only possible through the combined efforts of the Five College Consortium. Thank you for being here, and we are so excited to build and grow with you all this weekend.

  • HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FAQ What Process
    HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE Amherst, Massachusetts STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FAQ What process led to the decision to find a potential long-term strategic partner for Hampshire? Since her appointment last summer, President Miriam Nelson and Hampshire’s Board of Trustees have been exploring ways to bring about a thriving future for Hampshire, both as we approach and then look beyond our 50th anniversary in 2020. During staff-faculty assemblies convened in the fall semester, communications to students, and outreach to alums, President Nelson described the importance of “evolving education” at the College, envisioning our future based on our values, greatest strengths, and highest potential. Throughout these conversations, we’ve been guided by these core principles: § Preserve our reputation and what is best about Hampshire § Advance our educational model § Keep the interests of students, staff, and faculty at the forefront § Recognize the potential for long-term positive impact § Have the fortitude to make difficult decisions § Keep the interests of the greater community in our planning, including the Town of Amherst and the rest of the Pioneer Valley President Nelson has conferred with higher education and industry leaders about various approaches. It has become increasingly clear that a long-term partnership is the most compelling and viable strategic option for Hampshire. One of the great advantages we have, and the reason we’re seeking a partnership now, is time. We have the time to imagine what Hampshire’s future can look like, and bring it about. How is today different from other times that Hampshire has had financial hardships? Small colleges face stiff headwinds today, and the pressures on campuses with limited endowments are enormous.
