ESU ONLINE Winter Session--REGISTRATION begins November 1, 2012

December 17, 2012 - January 25, 2013

Announcing ESU Winter Session -- accelerated online study.

Only undergraduate ESU students may register for a Winter Session course.

Several courses will be offered, most are General Education (GE) designated and all of the courses are offered only online. Students may register for a maximum of 6 credits.

Registration Information:

  • Prior to registering, you must submit a $140 advanced registration deposit (refundable if class is cancelled) through your ESU portal:
  • Under the Student Billing Options, click on the link for "Pay My Registration Deposit (for winter session)"
  • Click on the "Deposits" Section
  • Select Winter 2013 Registration Deposit
  • Once you have paid your advanced registration deposit (online or in person) for Winter Session, you will be able to register online for classes (after a 30 minute waiting period).
  • We encourage you to register by December 5, 2012. Early enrollment is encouraged since low enrolled sections will be canceled.
  • Due to the intensive nature of online course work in an abbreviated time frame, students are limited to taking 6 credits during Winter Session.
  • Because Winter Session is a "supplemental" semester, financial aid is not available for the 6-weeks Winter Session. You may enroll in a 3-month installment plan at https://tuitionpay.salliemae.com/esu.
