'Summer' Winter
Term
The purpose of Winter
Term, the month
of January, is to enable students to complete educational projects of their choice,
either individually or as part of a group. Projects are proposed by faculty and
occasionally by administrative and professional staff members or alumni, or a
student may propose his or her own. Projects may be completed on or off campus.
Whatever a student decides, Winter Term allows a full-time self-directed commitment
to pursue educational goals. In order to graduate from Oberlin, students pursuing
a bachelor's degree are required to earn three (3) full Winter Term credits.
For detailed information and downloadable Winter Term-related forms, please refer
to the Winter Term website.
Arts and Sciences students who plan to take a leave of absence for study abroad
(or happen to take a personal or a medical leave of absence) for an entire academic
year should plan to complete their three Winter Term projects during each year
in residence, since they may not register for Winter Term while on leave for
the entire year.
Students on leave for one semester may register for Winter Term if they are enrolled
at Oberlin for the other semester of the year and if their courses of study elsewhere
do not overlap with Winter Term.
Under a limited set of circumstances, an Arts and Sciences student may request
permission to complete a Winter-Term type project during the summer. Such a project
can only be authorized by the Office of the Dean of Studies. To request permission
to do a Winter Term project during the summer, please download and complete the
form below and have it signed by the project sponsor before you make an appointment
with the Office of the Dean of Studies.
