HSCI 2200: Medical Terminology

Yes. Students are not required to take classes during the winter session, as it is an optional term. For students not taking classes during the winter session, the break will last until the start of the spring semester in mid-January. 

The decision to take an optional winter session course should involve a conversation with an academic advisor and/or a faculty mentor. A winter session course is a four-week online class (25 days) over the winter break, with 30-32 hours of dedicated coursework required each week. Additionally, there are only three days in which there will be no coursework or assignments/exams due: Dec. 24, 25, and Jan. 1. 

Prioritizing your mental health and well-being is critical, and taking time off during the winter break may be beneficial as you prepare for the spring semester. These factors and others should be considered before enrolling in a winter session class. 

For resources and information on student well-being at Saint Louis University, please visit our well-being resources page.

Students who have an Incomplete in a course taken in the fall semester should focus their time during winter break to finish their coursework. It is not recommended to take a winter course with an Incomplete on record.
