During preregistration, students may indicate preferred class times. D uring Winter and Summer sessions, students may earn up to seven credits to accelerate progress toward a degree, to focus on a single subject, or to synchronize their course schedule with the sequence of fall and spring course offerings. Approximately half of all undergraduates each year elect to attend the five-week Winter session held in January and early February. Special sessions also allow students to complete popular courses that may be in high demand during regular semesters. The Library, Student Center, Housing and Dining Services, Carpenter Sports Building and other support services are active during special sessions.
Cultural activities including films, concerts, bus excursions and lectures are also available.
Before the registration period for each special session, students receive booklets containing detailed information and course listings. Winter session booklets are available on the first day of Fall classes, and registration begins in mid October.
