And does this mean you can’t take something serious during IAP (by serious I mean a class that will count toward a major or for some requirement like the GIRs or HASS)?



Can’t get HASS requirements done over IAP without pretty spectacularly unusual circumstances, so far as I know; if you’re into relativity but not a physics major, you can hit one of your REST GIR requirements with 8.20 (Special Relativity) over IAP, although there’s tons of awesome ways to fill that requirement so it’s probably not one you should worry too much about tackling. If you opt to take the long version of 18.02 (Multivar Calc) starting in the fall, that will extend into IAP. (Or spring, if you prefer.) I’ve heard really good things about taking a language class over IAP, but I don’t believe it fulfills requirements –

– but there’s more than classes and requirements at MIT. I know people who travel over IAP, people who do UROPs, people who spend time working on their own pet projects, people who just hang out with friends and do all the things they don’t have time for during the term, and of course people who spend one long enjoyable month catching up on sleep… see how fall semester treats you before you decide if you want more of the same or something different during IAP.
