Winter Intersession courses are offered between the end of Fall semester and before Spring semester starts. Winter Intersession course grades will reflect on the Spring semester transcript. The following colleges typically offer winter intersession courses: Estrella Mountain, GateWay, Glendale, Mesa, and Phoenix.
Winter Intersession courses go on the Spring semester on the transcript. Therefore, winter intersession enrollment can be combined with Spring enrollment for financial aid consideration. Financial aid awarded for Spring is applied to Winter Intersession balances for eligible courses and not Fall. Any refunds or book advances for Winter intersession courses are subject to Spring disbursement timeframes.
For all classes offered during winter intersession, go to Find A Class and search for the words “winter intersession”
