Given the timing of Carleton’s trimesters, there is no conflict with programs in the fall. January through May is different, as you could miss two terms.

Just to throw in a bit of nonsense - Carleton and St. Olaf played the only NCAA-sanctioned metric football game in 1977, also known as the Liter Bowl. Carleton initiated this bit of lunacy and St. Olaf good-naturedly went along with it and won the game (as they usually do). (Current Carleton/St Olaf games are known as the “Cereal Bowl” in honor of Malt-O-Meal. Carleton and Macalester play for the “Book of Knowledge” trophy)
