Enrollment Limit: Students cannot enroll in any more than 4 credits of winter courses. Students that enroll in more than 4 credits will be notified and the last enrolled winter course will be dropped.
Enrollment Certification: For enrollment certification purposes, total credits from both winter and spring will be combined to determine academic load. For example, a student enrolled in 3 credits of winter coursework and 9 credits of spring coursework will be considered full-time for enrollment certification and financial aid eligibility purposes.
Tuition Assessment: Winter classes will be charged in addition to any Spring 2026 courses on a student’s schedule. They will be billed with the Spring 2026 term on 1/2/2026 and will be due on 1/20/2026. Detailed Spring 2026 tuition information can be found online.
A student who takes both a winter session course AND Spring 2026 coursework will be charged tuition for winter as well as tuition and mandatory fees for their Spring 2026 coursework.
Example 1: If a student enrolls in a 3-credit hour winter session course, and 9 credit hours of spring coursework, the student will be assessed 9 credits of spring 2026 tuition plus winter session tuition for a 3-credit course.
Example 2: If a student enrolls in a 3-credit hour winter session course, and 12 credit hours of spring coursework, the student will be assessed 12 credits of spring 2026 tuition plus the winter session tuition for a 3-credit course.
