Summer, Winter, and Online Courses

Summer Session

Summer sessions provide students with an opportunity to take credit-bearing courses to accelerate their program of study or to concentrate on a particular subject. The sessions typically meet from early June through mid-August, and summer courses are equivalent in content, credit, and classroom time to courses offered during the regular academic year. Students are limited in the number of courses they may take during the summer sessions. Variations from the policy require the approval of either the Dean of Undergraduate Studies or the Registrar.

The schedule of summer classes is usually available on the College’s website in February. For additional information concerning summer session, contact the Director of Special Academic Sessions, Douglas Boettner (dboettner@jjay.cuny.edu) or the Jay Express Service Center in person, by email (jayexpress@jjay.cuny.edu)  or via the Enrollment Management Call Center at 212.663.7867.

Winter Session

Between the fall and spring semesters, the College offers a three-week winter session, which is equivalent in all respects to a fall or spring semester course. The schedule for the winter session is available as part of the annual spring registration process.
