Courses & Registration
January Term is a great opportunity to earn up to three credits in less than two weeks - allowing students to stay on track, get ahead, or graduate early.
J-Term 2022 classes will meet for 10 days, Monday-Friday, January 3-7, and Monday-Friday, January 10-14, 2022. Please check the course list on this webpage or LOCUS for mode of instruction.
A J-Term class is a full-time, immersive study experience that allows students to focus solely on one course. Students are expected to spend approximately six hours a day studying or engaged in projects. Students are urged to contact their academic advisor to discuss whether a J-Term course is right for them.
- Online courses may have synchronous sessions of certain duration, depending on the class.
- We recommend that students review courses in LOCUS for updates and for detailed course information, including synchronous times, that may have been scheduled by the instructor.
Students should refer to LUC.edu/core to see how courses satisfy Core requirements.
