Winterim is a three-week session held between the fall and spring terms, and is designed to help students stay on track for graduation. The upcoming Winterim session will take place from January 4 to 22 and over 50 sections of online classes will be offered.

Students who complete courses during a special session like Winterim are 21% more likely to graduate in four years. Many students report that this intensive course format allows them to focus on one subject and that they can engage with the course from the comfort of their own home.

Winterim isn’t just for current Warhawks. Students from any university can apply as a special student and enroll in winterim courses. UWW credits transfer to most Universities of Wisconsin campus and other private institutions in the state.

Each of the five colleges has courses offered during winterim, and core courses and graduate level courses are available as well. Registration is now open and some classes have already filled. From Survey of American Jazz to Business Statistics to Sociology of Health and Illness, there’s a course for all students to stay on track and graduate on time.
