• Be a freshman, sophomore, or junior currently enrolled at Williams College.
  • View the Eligibility Enrollment Matrix below to determine your eligibility.
• Have no pending disciplinary cases against you in a Williams College review process. Pending disciplinary cases will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Enrollment Eligibility Matrix

If you are a first-, second-, or third- year, you can use the enrollment matrix below to clarify your program eligibility. Fourth-year students are not eligible to apply.

• If you are enrolled for the entire academic year (in-person, remotely, or a combination of the two), you are eligible to apply.
• If you are taking a gap semester in the fall, but will be enrolled (in-person or remotely) in the spring semester, you are eligible to apply. These applications will be reviewed on a special basis.
  • However, you must have been enrolled previously for at least one full semester (e.g., be a current second- or third-year). First-years are not eligible to apply under this policy.
