January Term Participation

First year students who matriculate in the fall term are required to register for at least three academic credits in the January Term of their first academic year. Registering for a course in January Term, although not required, is highly recommended for non-first year students. Any student that does not wish to register for a course in January Term must file a leave of absence with the Registrar’s Office. A first year student requesting a leave must have it approved by the Registrar. If a student does not file a leave of absence and does not register for a course in January Term, they will be withdrawn from the institution in compliance with the policy on Unofficial Withdrawal found elsewhere in the catalog.
