Winter Session 2024

Winter session courses are appropriate for Thiel undergraduates, students from other colleges and universities, college-bound high school students or those with a bachelor's degree, looking to delve deeply into an academic topic or earn college credit. Students taking course work to meet graduation requirements should seek approval from their departmental advisor.

Thiel College reserves the right to cancel classes with fewer than five students enrolled, unless the instructor offering the course is willing to teach the course.

For more information, students may contact Academic Records at 724-589-2109 or registrar@thiel.edu.

Winter Session

Online:

Students registering for online courses must have access to a reliable internet connection – DSL or cable is highly recommended.

All Winter Courses are delivered online, asynchronously. Students engage with the course outside of a physical classroom setting on our online learning platform and at their own time and pace (with daily/weekly goals and due dates set by the instructor).

Student Course Load

Due to the condensed term and accelerated pace, students can only register for one course.

High School Students

High school scholars include rising juniors and seniors. All others are considered on an individual basis. The same policies apply for scholars as our regular Dual Enrollment (DE) program. Scholars must complete the DE application and should not register for classes through the Registrar's office, as they are billed at a different rate than traditional students. Visit the DE page to learn about requirements, registration, and discounted pricing.

Fees for the Winter Session

• $500 per credit for traditional students for all courses
• $135 per credit for high school students (Dual Enrollments)

Statements are sent upon registration and payment is due by December 17th.  A payment plan is not available for the Winter Session due to the shortened length of the term. Students must be financially cleared before starting the course. 

Payments can be mailed to the following address:

Withdrawal Policy

Students may drop classes during the first two days of the session with no tuition charge. After this period, students will receive a grade of W on their transcript. A pro-rata refund of tuition will be made through 25% of the session. After that time, there is no refund and no ability to drop or withdraw from a course.

Thiel College assumes a student is enrolled until written notification is sent to Academic Records indicating a withdrawal from the course. The student is responsible to officially withdraw from a scheduled class. Non-attendance does not constitute a formal withdrawal from a course.
