The Division of Continuing and Global Education invites faculty to submit course proposals for the 2025 Winter Intersession. Instruction begins on Thursday, Dec. 26 and ends on Tuesday, Jan. 14. Wednesday, 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 Tuesday, Jan. 21.

Only one section (up to four units) may be proposed by each faculty member for Winter Intersession.

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, Oct. 4. Some offices may have earlier, internal deadlines. Start an Intersession Course Proposal Form.

CGE will accept proposals for courses at any level (undergraduate or postbaccalaureate). We strongly discourage departments from proposing multiple sections of the same course, as they may compete for enrollment. Please give special consideration to GE and high-demand core major courses. The following GE and degree requirements have been identified by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies as high-need for the 2024-25 academic year:

• C2
• D1
• E (lower division)
• F (lower division)
• IB
• IC
• ID
• M/I
• PLSI 2

At the direction of the faculty serving on the Writing Competency Subcommittee, UDWR courses must meet for six weeks minimum. To comply, CGE will not accept W courses in Intersession.

There are no minimum enrollment requirements to keep classes on the schedule in Winter Intersession. Each instructor will be contacted to discuss projected pay using actual enrollments under Salary Schedule 2322.

Direct any questions to cgeinfo@csufresno.edu.

Thank you for making these opportunities available to our students and teaching with Continuing and Global Education.
