Comments (advising questions, etc.):

Would it be possible to take a 4-course load? I am very interested in all the courses
selected above and, if possible, would like to try to complete all of them. Perhaps I am
getting ahead of myself and will find the standard load to be more than enough. Is it
unheard of to take an extra class? Is there an extra charge?

Please return this form to the Russian School at schoolofrussian@middelbury.edu. If you have any advising
questions, please type them above or contact the director, Dr. Jason Merrill, at jmerrill@middlebury.edu.
