The January Term (J-Term) is a three-week mini-term that occurs during the first three weeks of January. It is an opportunity to earn 1‒7 credits.

• Matriculated students must secure approval from an appropriate academic adviser to register for more than 7 credit hours.
• Probationary students seeking to override the 4-credit-hour limit must receive approval through their dean’s office.
• Cross registration is not permitted during J-Term.

Federal Financial Aid Processing

• J-Term is not considered a stand-alone semester. It is part of the spring semester.
• Students identified as ineligible for federal financial aid after the fall semester cannot regain aid eligibility for the spring semester by attending J-Term.
• A separate aid application is required to be considered for J-Term financial aid and is available online each November.

Tuition and Fees

Students are charged per credit hour for J-Term. J-term charges are not included with spring charges and a separate bill will be generated for each term.
