Intersession

 

Intersession Dates: December 19, 2022 – January 6, 2023

Want to accelerate your degree? Do you need additional credits? You can take courses during the break between fall and spring semester to catch up or move ahead. NDUS institutions are offering online courses that are open to all students from other colleges and universities. Courses are transferrable to other academic institutions.

 

What is an intersession?

An intersession is a short session that occurs in the three weeks between the fall and spring semesters. Intersession classes are intense, because they deliver a full semester class in a very short time frame. For this reason, students may consider taking one class (up to four credit hours) during an intersession.

 

How are intersession courses different from regular courses?

Due to the short time frame, courses meet longer each day and may require work outside the classroom. Many students find that being immersed in a single subject they are studying every day helps them learn and retain information better.

 

Who should take an intersession course?

There are many reasons to take an intersession course. Students may have fallen behind or switched majors and need an extra class to stay on track for timely graduation. They may want to reduce their course load the following semester, so they have more time to focus on each class. They may have had difficulty passing a course and want to retake it in an immersive atmosphere without the distraction of 3–5 other classes.

 

How to enroll into an intersession course?

Reach out to the Admission Office at the institution that is offering the course. Admission staff can assist you with any necessary admission requirements.
