Here Comes the Winterim!

It's quick.  It's intense.  It's fast-moving.  It's not exactly leisurely.   

But it's one of the best ways to earn credits and keep you on the path to graduation.

It's the Winterim session at NCC.  And it starts in just a few days--Tuesday, Dec. 26.

For those who don't know, the Winterim is a short session between the fall and spring semesters.  It offers you an opportunity to take a single course--no more than one--in roughly three weeks.  Winterim classes meet five days a week for (in most instances) three hours a day.  You can take a day class, which typically runs from 9 a.m.-12 noon, or an evening one, which usually meets from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

You can choose courses from a variety of departments--Math, Sociology, Business, History, Music, Criminal Justice, Health, Psychology, Marketing, Political Science, and several others.   

Why take a Winterim class? 

Several reasons: to earn elective credits, to fulfill a requirement, to tackle a course best taken by itself, or simply to get you one step closer to graduation. 

Whatever your reason, the Winterim can be a good deal.  But remember: these courses cover the same amount of material in three weeks as during the regular fifteen-week semester.  So be prepared to work!

This year's Winterim session begins on Wednesday, December 26 and runs through Tuesday, December 15.  There are no class meetings on December 31 and January 1, but classes meet on other weekdays during this time--thirteen times in all.
