Stay on Track or Get Ahead
J-Term is a four-week session held between fall and spring semesters that allows you to take a course that didn't fit into your schedule and get ahead or stay on track for graduation. Registration opens Monday, Oct. 21. Appointments with advisers are not necessary to register for J-Term classes. J-Term classes will be held Dec. 23, 2024-Jan. 24, 2025
No classes Dec. 24-25 or Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 and 20, 2025.
Taking J-Term classes gives you the benefit of small class sizes, more interaction with faculty and the ability to complete a course in a shorter time with fewer distractions.
J-Term is a great opportunity to:
- Fulfill prerequisites.
- Get ahead and graduate sooner.
- Earn transfer credits to compete your requirements from another institution.
- Participate in courses or programs offered exclusively during J-Term.
- Complete non-credit and/or professional development courses.
- Current UWRF Students
- If you are a currently enrolled UWRF student, you can register for J-Term courses through eSIS. Current students don't need to see their adviser for a PIN to register for J-Term.
- Students Transferring to UWRF
- New students should apply as a degree-seeking student for J-Term and then continue on full time in the spring semester. Learn more about transferring to UWRF and apply online.
- Students Enrolled at Other Institutions
- Students from other institutions who want to take courses only during J-Term session should apply as a non-degree seeking student using the Universities of Wisconsin online application. Those seeking to transfer credits to their college or university can do so by providing a transcript from UWRF.
- Students Taking Graduate-Level Courses
