Winter Term

The regular academic year at Graceland University includes the fall semester, the winter term, and the spring semester. Payment of full tuition, board, and room for the fall semester or the spring semester includes the winter term.

For those full-time students who do not attend the fall semester, payment of full tuition, board and room for the spring semester will entitle them to attend the winter term.

If you are interested in financial aid for your Winter Term trip, see your financial aid advisor about qualifying for possible educational loans. If you qualify, you can apply for a loan that will reimburse you in January for payments you must make earlier to tour companies.

Since winter term programs have certain elements of risk because of travel and other action type experiences, students should expect to absorb the special fees and other costs that accrue as a result of unexpected circumstances.

The Winter Term Bulletin lists the basic policies, procedures and programs of winter term.

The winter term attendance requirements are as follows:

1. Three winter terms are required for the baccalaureate degree. (It is strongly recommended that one be taken during the freshman year.)
2. The winter term requirement for transfer students enrolled full-time (12 s.h. or more) at Graceland is assessed as follows:

1. Winter terms are not required of students enrolled at Graceland exclusively on a part-time basis (11 s.h. or less); enrolled in the Distance Learning Program; enrolled in the Independence Education Program; enrolled in Campus-Based Studies; or pursuing the accelerated BSN–RN program.
