WINTERmester
WINTERmester - 3 credits in 2 weeks!
January 4-15, 2010

WINTERmester classes are intensive, meeting five days a week, January 4-15. Most courses require reading to be completed prior to the start of class. Check for the course syllabi link on this page and get your textbooks before leaving for winter break. Textbooks will be available in the campus bookstore, not through the online service.

Student Spotlight
WINTERmester is great and came at a critical juncture in my academic career. As a senior with my last semester rapidly approaching I realized that I needed to fill an overlooked core requirement–FAST! Fortunately WINTERmester offered the course I needed. In just two weeks I had that course behind me and graduation was within reach. (Will Quintal, UAF alumnus)

FAQ
How many credits can I take in WINTERmester? Limit of three.
Are WINTERmester credits counted in my total spring credit load? Yes.
What if WINTERmester causes a credit overload in my spring schedule? Banner will not accept a registration that creates a credit overload without prior authorization. It is understood that a WINTERmester course is offered in a separate time frame from other spring courses, but Banner doesn’t see it that way. To get permission entered into Banner for an overload requires an advisor’s signature on the intent to register form or an advisor or student email to susan.culley@alaska.edu in the Registrar’s Office requesting an overload permission entry in Banner. Call 907-474-6856 for additional information.
