Students on campus in the winter

Get ahead in your degree by taking courses in the summer and winter to catch up or work toward earlier graduation!

All special sessions courses are offered online through either asynchronous, hybrid, or fully synchronous formats, in order to offer the most flexibility during the summer and winter months.

What are Special Sessions?

In addition to the fall and spring semesters, the University offers academic courses during two special terms: Summer Session and Winter Session. Summer Session runs from mid-May to August, with multiple sessions to fit your summer schedule. Winter Session is a shortened, intensive session between the fall and spring semesters.

We also offer 100% online and hybrid (combination of online & face-to-face) courses. Courses are taken using the Brightspace Learning Management System.
