Dear parents and families,
A similar message was just sent to your student, and we wanted to make sure you were aware of this new program as well.
We wanted to remind you that the University of Iowa is offering a variety of four-week accelerated online courses during Winter Session. Your student can earn up to three credit hours to help them catch up on a class they may have missed, get a head start on the spring semester, work on career skills, or stay on track for graduation.
Most of the offerings are semester-length courses in a condensed, online format—giving your student the ability to earn credit toward their degree in four intensive weeks. Some courses will meet at specific times each week (on Zoom), and others will be offered in a self-paced format that allows students to complete required coursework on their own schedule
Students can choose from general education courses, career-skills courses, or college success courses. Each class is limited to 50 students to ensure individualized attention and the ability to collaborate and get to know their fellow Hawkeyes.
Students can connect with their academic advisor to make sure Winter Session is a good choice for them. Note: Advisors will need to authorize students before they will be able to register. Registration is now open in MyUI.
Get ahead with Winter Session at Iowa.
