Sign up for Winter Session
12/07/2020
SUNY Cortland students have the opportunity to earn up to five credits over the break, through Winter Session courses.
All classes are being offered online. Winter Session I begins Tuesday, Dec. 22, and runs until Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. Winter Session II starts on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021 and ends on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
If students didn’t get the chance to register for Winter Session courses during Spring Semester registration, there is still time to do so.
“Winter Session courses provide an opportunity for students to catch up, get ahead and most importantly stay on track for graduation,” said Darci Contri, director of Extended Learning. “It is a great opportunity for students to enroll and focus on one course over the two- or four-week terms.”
Visit the “Register (Drop & Add Courses)” tab in myRedDragon to sign up for Winter Session. Registration via myRedDragon closes at noon on Friday, Dec. 18 for Session I and at noon on Monday, Dec. 28 for Session II. Once myRedDragon registration closes, signing up for classes is still possible through the first day of each term via the alternate registration process.
The public course schedule shows courses offered this winter. Additional information on Winter Session is available online.
There are more than 80 courses available and more than 950 students have already enrolled in winter coursework.
“Over 30 courses fulfill general education or writing intensive requirements,” Contri said. “Several departments offer courses that fulfill major requirements or elective credits within in the major.”
Some of the unique courses on the Winter Session roster include a study of the films of Spike Lee, a cross-cultural examination of sex crimes, the chemistry of fermentation, tiny writing and more.

Coursework completed at SUNY Cortland in Winter Session counts toward the student cumulative GPA, Contri said.
“Students have even completed the last course for their degree in Winter,” she said.
