January Term

January Term 2027

January Term (J-Term) is a great way to catch up, stay on track, or graduate early.  You can earn credit towards a variety of Core and major classes in a condensed session during Winter Break.  Courses are primarily available online and give you the flexibility to make the most out of your break.

J-Term 2027 classes meet for 10 days over a two-week period, from Monday, January 4, 2027 – Friday, January 15, 2027. Registration will open on Monday, October 12, 2026.  We recommend that students enroll before the end of the Fall Semester to have access to Sakai prior to the beginning of their class.

Review the registration page for more information. Please note:  Study Abroad and most Lab courses are taught in-person.
