  • How many classes can I take?

    Most students are limited to two classes.  The goal of Winter Session is to have students intensely focused on a couple classes for the three-week period.

  • How much does Winter Session cost?

    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.

  • Can I use my financial aid to pay for it?

    For the purposes of financial aid, Winter Session classes are attached to and will be paid by your spring 2023 aid. Financial aid for spring 2023 will be disbursed the first week of February which is after the winter session courses end. For questions regarding your spring 2023 financial aid please email our Financial Aid & Scholarships office at finaid@AState.edu.

  • Can I use my A-State Institutional scholarship to pay for Winter Session?

    Institutional Scholarships may not be used for winter session. However, non-institutional scholarships may be used, and if you are also enrolled for the spring 2023 semester you may use winter credits toward your spring 2023 hours. Check with our Financial Aid & Scholarships team at finaid@AState.edu

  • What if I’m not a current A-State student?

  • Who is teaching Winter Session?

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

  • Will my class make?

    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 14, 2022, it will be cancelled.  This allows you the chance to register for a different class before classes start.

  • Will the A-State Library be open during Winter Session?

    The Library’s online articles, eBooks, streaming media, and other resources will be available throughout winter session via the Dean B. Ellis Library website: http://www.astate.edu/a/library/.
