Guidance for winter session enrollment
- It is highly recommended that students complete their spring semester enrollment through the open enrollment period before enrolling in winter session courses.
- Contact the Office of the Registrar (registrar@jmu.edu) if you are enrolling in spring and winter session courses and are receiving an error message about your term credit limit being exceeded. We will review your situation and work with you on next steps to obtain enrollment in both spring and winter session courses.
- Students are limited to the number of credit hours taken during the winter session:
-
- WS1 (One Week – First): Maximum 1 credit
- WS2 (Two Week – First): Maximum 3 credits
- WS3 (One Week – Second): Maximum 1 credit
- WS4 (Three Week – First): Maximum 3 credits
If you wish to take more than the maximum credits allotted for each session, you must obtain written approval from the academic unit head (AUH) of your major. (Student emails AUH, and then AUH emails Office of the Registrar (registrar@jmu.edu) with written approval).
It is not recommended that students enroll in more than 4 credit hours across all winter sessions due to the demand on time for successful completion of each individual course.
- Please be advised that pre-requisite courses taken during the winter session and/or related GPA updates may not satisfy requirements for courses offered in the spring term. Please consult your academic advisor.
