An important strategic goal of Winter Session is to increase graduation rates. With this in mind, colleges and departments should consider courses that would be reasonable to deliver within the compressed time-frame and help students in attaining their completion objectives. We recommend that courses with prerequisites are not offered during the winter term.

Based on the responses from students who participated in Winter Session, we suggest considering the following types of courses:

• General Education Lower-Division Foundation courses
• General Education Upper-Division Explorations courses
• Courses critical for the major and/or to achieve upper-division standing

Additionally, instructors proposing courses for Winter Session 2023 need to have offered the course fully online in a previous term.

There are no limits to the number of courses a department may offer. Decisions should be made by the department based on student needs.

Faculty will be paid according to the Special Sessions 2322 salary schedule based on enrollment, course units, and faculty rank. Example: An associate professor teaching a 3-unit course with 20 students would receive $2,790/unit, or $8,370.

For enrollments exceeding 25, an additional $100 per student would be added to the pay. In the example above, the associate professor teaching 30 students would receive an additional $500, or $8,870.

Enrollment limits should be identified in the program proposal process and approved by the Department Chair and Dean. No course is to exceed 50 students.
