Registration opens on Nov. 2, but you can consult with your advisor now to see if one of the courses offered this year fits into your curriculum. Registration for Winter Session 2020 works like class registration for any other semester.  Access Self Service Banner through your my.AState.edu account.

Most students are limited to one class.  The goal of Winter Session is to have students intensely focused on one class for the three-week period.

The cost per credit hour is the same as any other A-State course, including any differential tuition charged by individual colleges.  A three-hour class is roughly $950.

For the purposes of financial aid, Winter Session classes are attached to and will be paid by your Spring 2021 aid. Financial aid for Spring 2021 will be disbursed the first week of February which is after the Winter Session courses end. For questions regarding your Spring 2021 financial aid please email our Financial Aid & Scholarships office at finaid@AState.edu.

Institutional Scholarships may not be used for the Winter Session. However, non-institutional scholarships may be used, and if you are also enrolled for the Spring 2021 semester you may use Winter credits toward your Spring 2021 hours. Check with our Financial Aid & Scholarships team at finaid@AState.edu. 

No problem. If you were considering coming to A-State this fall but didn’t due to pandemic or economic concerns, this is a great way to check us out.

While the delivery method is online, these are traditional A-State courses taught by our Jonesboro faculty members.

Each class does need a minimum number of students, but by hosting the course online, the threshold number is much lower.  If a class does not make enrollment by December 7, 2020, it will be cancelled.  This allows you the chance to register for a different class before classes start.
