Registration

 

Splash uses a lottery system to assign you to classes. The deadline for
submitting your class preferences is 11:59PM EDT on November 1st. You can
follow the instructions on our website
<https://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/student.html>  to register! 

 

If you want a full schedule (maximum learning!), we recommend ranking at
least 3 classes and starring at least 10 classes per time block, or you may
end up with many empty class blocks. All rankings and stars will be entered
into the lottery. The lottery is not first-come first-serve; classes will be
assigned after registration has closed, and all students who register before
the deadline (November 1st) will be considered equally. We will release
class assignments a few days later. After you get your initial schedule, you
will be able to modify it by adding and dropping classes during a first-come
first-serve registration phase.

 

Waivers  

 

In order to attend Splash, students must fill out a waiver. The waiver will
be posted on the ESP website soon. Make sure to check your registration page
for the waiver! 

 

Cost

 

There is a $60 fee to attend Splash. However, ESP offers generous financial
aid and we encourage anyone who needs it to request aid. Once students get
their lottery results, we'll send out more information via email on payment
and financial aid requests. 

 

We will begin accepting payments a few days after the lottery closes. After
payment opens, you will have until Thursday, November 13th to pay for the
program or request financial aid online. Afterwards, you'll have to make
payments or request financial aid in person when you check in to Splash. 

 

Other Logistics

 

We will send emails to Splash students in the weeks leading up to Splash, so
make sure you regularly check the email address that you registered your
account with.  

 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us at splash at mit.edu
<mailto:splash at mit.edu> . Happy registering, and we hope to see you at
Splash Fall 2025!

 

Best,

Sophie and Esther
