Choosing a Course for January Session

January Session gives you the opportunity to focus on one subject, explore a new interest, or study abroad. Because courses cover material more quickly than semester-long classes, consider the pace and expectations before you register.

Choosing the right course

Review the course description, requirements, and workload. Consider these questions:

• Does the course include a significant amount of reading or coursework in a short period?
• Does the course match your learning strengths?
• Can you manage the accelerated pace?
• Will you need academic support to succeed?

Planning for academic support

One-on-one tutoring is not available during January Session. If you expect to need tutoring for a course, consider taking it during a regular semester when more support is available.

Talk with your advisor

Your advisor can help you compare courses and choose an option that supports your academic goals. Discuss your learning needs, schedule, and strengths before registering.
