Non-TCNJ Students can easily request registration in Winter Session courses. Our college prides itself on providing all the exceptional quality of a TCNJ course over the condensed period of Winter Session. If students require more flexibility in order to avoid scheduling conflicts, they may choose to enroll in one of our Blended Learning courses or online courses. Blended Learning gives students considerably more freedom in their schedule by combining online assignments with on campus course time.
NOTE: If you are currently attending as a TCNJ student, DO NOT apply through the visiting student application to enroll in a winter course. Complete registration through your existing PAWS account.
