Winter Session courses cover 16 weeks' worth of learning material in less than 4 weeks. Due to the condensed nature of the courses, students are permitted to take only 1 course without the approval of their College Dean.
Students must drop their Winter Session course by the designated deadline to receive a refund & No W on their transcript. Remaining in a class and not participating does not lead to a student being automatically dropped. It is every student's responsibility to manage their enrollments in a timely manner.
Students enrolling late will miss any work/assignments that were due prior to their enrollment in the course.
Registration for Winter Session begins with the fall semester enrollment windows. Courses will be added through October.
