Welcome to the Middlebury College registration system. BannerWeb will accept your First-Year Seminar choices and your Course Preferences for the Fall 2010 term. Use the enclosed booklet with course descriptions and schedules to make your registration decisions. First-Year Seminar • Select six seminars that interest you and enter them on the back of this sheet in priority order. • When making your seminar choices, consider the enclosed course scheduling information. There may be time

conflicts with courses that you plan to take. • After the First-Year Seminar BannerWeb registration is complete on June 23, you are assigned a seminar based on

the availability of your choices. Course Preferences • Your course preferences are used to plan the Fall term curriculum and give your adviser an indication of your

academic interests. Actual registration for your remaining three Fall term courses takes place during Orientation Week, after you have consulted with your adviser.

• Select three courses you wish to take, noting the 5-digit course reference number (CRN) that is found on the course schedule.

• Do not select more than one course in the same department. • If you plan to continue the study of a foreign language, choose an appropriate course level. Actual placement in

language courses is determined by placement tests during Orientation Week. First-Year Seminar registration will take place using BannerWeb on the Middlebury College web page, www.middlebury.edu. If you do not have access to the web, you may mail, fax, or email your First-Year Seminar choices and your course preferences (using the form on the back) to Kathleen Parent, Course Scheduler (see address and fax number below). BannerWeb registration is preferable, but if your selections are received by the June 23rd deadline it makes no difference to your seminar assignment how or when you register during the June 14th – June 23rd timeframe.
