ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide summarizes academic regulations and procedures, and offers overall general academic guidance to MIT undergraduates and their advisors. It contains information on advising, the undergraduate curriculum, grading and examinations, petitions, changes in status, special situations and programs, graduation rules, and other issues related to academic life. This information is of three general types: mandatory regulations enacted by the Faculty and also contained in Rules and Regulations of the Faculty, procedures established by Faculty committees and administrative offices, and strong recommendations based on the broad experience of the faculty at large.
This guide is intended to complement the MIT Bulletin: Courses and Degree Programs Issue, and references to that document as the MIT Bulletin are made whenever relevant.
This edition represents a revised version of the Guide for MIT Undergraduates and Their Faculty Advisors, previously published in 1990.
General questions about the content of this Guide or suggestions for future editions should be directed to the Office of Faculty Support (OFS).
Complementing this Guide are:
- U-Info, a gateway to academic information and advising resources for undergraduates.
- Academic Index for Undergraduates, a list of links to the academic information and resources.
Student Financial Services (SFS) and the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming (UAAP) can also provide up-to-date resource information.
