The Division of Continuing and Global Education (CGE) invites faculty to submit course proposals for the 2026 Winter Intersession. Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate courses may be proposed. Instruction begins on Friday, Dec. 26 and ends on Wednesday, Jan. 14. Thursday, Jan. 1 is a holiday, leaving 13 days of instruction. Please schedule all instruction and exams within the session. Classes should have 15 contact hours per unit of instruction, equivalent to regular semester classes. Session grades are due on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

All course proposals will be routed through AdobeSign and require the approval of the department chair and dean or associate dean. The deadline to submit a course proposal is Friday, Sept. 26. Some offices may have earlier, internal deadlines. Start an Intersession Course Proposal Form.
