Students access the MARS system from Middlebury College's Home Page. At the completion of each round, MARS enrolls students in sections according to enrollment priority and available spaces. Students meet with their advisers to discuss course choices for the next and future terms. Informational changes are made at the Dean of Student Affairs Office and financial adjustments at the Comptroller's office. MARS Practice option is available on the web during the Advising Period.
Financial standing is indicated on the practice option.
These students then must register for the course and are guaranteed enrollment. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be given a waiver to register for a course from which she or he is otherwise restricted. Students enter course section choices for the next term using MARS on the web. Students may revise their registration selections repeatedly during the round. At the conclusion of Round 1, student registration requests are processed by the computer according to each course section's enrollment priority definition and available openings.
