Winter’s known for cold weather, but students don’t have to let their progress toward graduation freeze up. With San Francisco State University’s Winter Session 2025 you can earn up to four units taking undergraduate or graduate classes during winter break. Dozens of courses — many of them online — will be offered January 2 – 21, 2025, with the credit applicable toward your San Francisco State degree. Registration begins Thursday, Nov. 1.

“Research shows that students who take longer to graduate are less likely to complete their degrees, so we’re dedicated to removing obstacles and creating clear pathways to graduation,” said Alex Hwu, dean of the University’s College of Professional & Global Education. “Many of our courses are offered either online or in hybrid formats, with an accelerated schedule that allows students to finish a full semester’s work in just three weeks. That provides just the boost some students need to stay on track to graduation.”

Winter Session also offers extra flexibility to students by allowing them to use their spring financial aid to pay for Winter Session courses. Matriculated SF State students with sufficient financial aid can request a fee deferment. Get the details on the College of Professional & Global Education website. 

You can RSVP for a free online information session Thursday, Oct. 24, or talk directly to Winter Session experts at a tabling event at Malcom X Plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4. 

Go to cpage.sfsu.edu/winter to check out available courses and register.
