Final Transcript and AP/IB/GCE A-Level/College Transfer Credits
Once you have completed your studies at your current school and have graduated high school or finished your college exams, please arrange to have your final official transcript(s) sent to the Office of Admissions.
If applicable, official results of your AP/IB/etc. exams should also be reported to Beloit College, so they can be evaluated for credit. Before New Student Days, your Beloit College transcript will be updated to reflect any credit received. You can view your transcript on the Portal.
Modern Languages
We strongly encourage you either to continue studying the language you have already begun studying or to take on a new language during your time at Beloit.

In particular, if you have previously studied a language, please contact a professor or take a placement exam before July 1. You and your advisor can then use the results to better plan your first semester at Beloit.
Registering for Courses/Advising and Mentoring
During our orientation series, we will be information that talk about how we do advising, college requirements, and how to register for courses. We will also have opportunities for you to talk with an AMP Advisor and SOAR students (peer, trained students) to ask any and all questions you may have about the process, and to assist you in exploring courses and building a schedule for success.
In late July, all new students will have individual appointments with their assigned initial AMP Advisor to make final selections and register for courses. Instructions for scheduling your appointment will be shared in the weeks prior to the registration period.
More Information
Unlike some other colleges which describe classes in terms of “hours,” classes at Beloit are measured in units. Standard courses count as one unit.
Each of your classes will typically meet two or three days a week, e.g. on Tuesday and Thursday, or on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Most classes meet between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and a few meet in the evening.
Students must be enrolled in and remained enrolled in 3 units over the semester in order to be considered full-time.
Being a full-time student is important for several reasons: financial aid packages often require students to be enrolled full-time in order to receive funds, if you plan to play a varsity sport, the NCAA dictates that you must be a full-time student and you need to be full-time enrolled to live on campus.

If you have a disability, Learning Enrichment and Disability Services (LEADS) staff are here to help. If you plan to have accommodations like special housing arrangements, extra time on exams, print materials in an audio format, and other such assistance, contact LEADS (608-363-2572 or learning@beloit.edu) as soon as possible to set up these resources.
