WINTER TERM / INTERSESSION 2010

Winter Term 2010 is scheduled from January 4, 2010 through January 17, 2010 and offers participants a rich educational experience through a broad range of intensive study opportunities in university credit courses. The course offerings are often innovative and span many disciplines. Classes are small, so participants have the opportunity to interact often with faculty.

Winter Term/Intersession enrollment is open to all CSUN students, prospective students, students from other colleges and universities, and interested individuals from the community. No application or admissions process is required for registration.

CSUN matriculated students earn resident credits. Non matriculated students may apply up to 24 units towards a bachelor’s degree and 9 units towards a master’s degree. Grades received in Winter Term become part of a student’s academic record and are included in the student’s overall grade point average.

Winter Term/Intersession is open to all who successfully completed high school or earned a General Educational Development credential. Students need not be regularly enrolled at CSUN to take academic-credit classes during the Winter Term/Intersession, so long as course prerequisites are met.

Course Fees

• $265 per lecture unit
• $305 per activity unit
• $385 per laboratory unit

Students May Register for Only One Course in the Winter Term

Students may take only one three unit credit course in the Winter Term. Students enrolling in a course requiring a lab may exceed the limit by only one unit (one three unit course with a one unit “lab” is permitted). Students may not exceed the maximum unit load during the Winter Term.
