Information for Students

The Center for Academic Support and Advising (CASA)

Navigating the Divisional System

At 91è��, there are no freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors. Rather, 91è�� students advance through three divisions. Academic pursuits move students from course-based projects in Div I through semester-long collaborative projects in Div II toward a year-long, self-designed independent project in Div III.

Each division concludes with a portfolio review, including narrative feedback from all courses, final papers, or projects, as well as Community-Engaged Learning and a retrospective. This divisional framework guides students in building their academic concentration or focus of study and supports them through more and more ambitious projects.

Understanding the divisional system, as well as relevant procedures, deadlines, and requirements, will help you to set and achieve your academic goals while meeting the academic expectations of the College! Do not hesitate to reach out to us at CASA (advising@hampshire.edu) if you have any questions.
