Winter Session

William Paterson University is offering two wholly online winter sessions this year:

Six Week Session: December 16, 2024- January 22, 2025

Three Week Session: January 2 - January 22, 2025

Current WP and visiting students may take two 6 week session classes or a 6 week and a 3 week class.  Due to their intensity, students are not able to take two 3 week classes.

There are over 70 online courses offered this year during the two winter sessions. William Paterson offers 2, 3, and 4 credit courses during the session.

  • Online undergraduate visiting student and graduate non-degree admissions applications may be submitted through December 5, 2024 for the 6 week session and December 18, 2024, for the 3 week session.
