Wintermester 2011-12
December 16, 2011 - January 8, 2012
Wintermester 2011-12 is a compressed academic term that continues our efforts to offer students more flexibility and more learning opportunities to help them complete their academic requirements. The Wintermester term seems particularly suited for travel courses, online and hybrid course offerings, and innovative courses that provide learning opportunities in ways that may not be feasible during a regular semester schedule. It is a stand alone term and is not affiliated with any other semester. Courses offered during this semester provide students with an additional opportunity to meet prerequisites for future courses, lighten course loads of other semesters, and make progress toward their academic goals.

Tuition: Undergraduate tuition for Wintermester will be $499 per credit hour. Graduate tuition for Wintermester will be the normal tuition per graduate credit hour.
Financial Aid and Scholarships: For financial aid advice, students should consult with Maggie Kersten, Financial Aid Counselor, at 615.966.6207 or maggie.kersten@lipscomb.edu. In general, because undergraduate Wintermester tuition is already discounted and because of the limited number of credit hours available to be taken in a compressed term, most financial aid and scholarships will not apply to Wintermester classes. However, students can apply for alternative loans to cover Wintermester costs. Review of grade point averages (GPA) for financial aid purposes will occur only at the end of fall, spring, and summer semesters. Thus, courses taken during Wintermester will not be considered in GPA reviews for financial aid until the end of the spring semester.
Alumni interested in taking a Wintermester course should review the Alumni Legacy Tuition Discount policy.
Lipscomb employees receiving tuition discounts should review the Tuition Discount policy on page 31 of the Staff Handbook and complete the Lipscomb Employee Tuition Discount Form. Employee tuition discounts for Wintermester courses will be applied to the full tuition rate of $915 per credit hour. Employees may choose to pay the lower of the discounted tuition calculated or the stated Wintermester tuition rate.
Housing Information For housing information, students should consult Sam Smith, Director of Residential Life and Housing, at 615.966.5155 or sam.smith@lipscomb.edu. If on-campus housing is needed during Wintermester, residential students will be able to occupy their dorm rooms at no additional cost. Non-residential students who need on-campus housing may be accommodated if space is available and will be charged a reasonable fee. Only Wintermester students will be allowed early admittance to dorms.
Registration and Payment Dates: All Wintermester registration dates and payment dates will follow those in place for Spring semester. Payment plans for Wintermester must be in place by the first official day of the Wintermester term.
