Please note:聽Students on academic suspension may not use a Winter Session class to reinstate to main campus in time for the spring semester. Because Winter Session is part of the spring semester, your college will not review your case for reinstatement until all spring grades have posted at the end of the spring semester.

Graduating Seniors

If you are a senior close to graduation, please be aware that Winter Session credits count toward the spring semester. Therefore, your graduation term will be spring, not fall. In other words, if your Winter Session class is the last class you need to complete your degree, your degree will be awarded at the end of the spring semester. Please work with your academic advisor or college if receiving a Letter of Completion would be helpful when you finish your Winter Session course.
