<p>I completely forgot to ask about that at Parent orientation. Does everyone do it? I figured it was required. . .Is there additional tuition for it?</p>
<p>My freshman was told by someone in his dorm that he had six weeks off at holiday break and was terrified that he had to be home that long. I reminded him of the January term and told him to ask other people, including finding an adviser,to clear it up for him.</p>
<p>The interterm is free. There is no additional cost. Most students do take advantage of the free interterm. I know my kid does. That’s another benefit for being a Chapman student. :)</p>
<p>Chapman’s academic year is on a 4–1–4 calendar. Fall classes begin in late August and end just prior to Christmas. An interterm session is held in January, offering special opportunities for students to participate in travel courses or take experimental courses. The course offerings in interterm, however, are limited. Students should not rely on interterm classes to fulfill their requirements. The spring semester begins at the end of January and ends in May.</p>
<p>During interterm, a student carrying a minimum of 3 credits is considered a full-time student. During interterm session, students may take a maximum of 4 credits.</p>
<p>Interterm in January is essentially free, as in no additional cost to live and eat on campus and take up to 4 additional credit credits. Also, Chapman will waive tuition on a study-abroad program once during your time there.</p>
<p>For the purpose of determining financial aid eligibility, interterm enrollment is combined with spring semester enrollment. For instance, an undergraduate would be considered full time if enrolled in three units during interterm and nine units during spring semester (for a total of 12).</p>
<p>Chapman faculty representing a range of academic departments lead travel courses during the summer and January interterm session(s). These courses range in length from 1 to 4 weeks and are both domestic and international. All students are encouraged to participate in these courses in order to gain a perspective about other countries and cultures. There is academic work involved in these classes and credit is awarded. All travel courses outside the U.S. are approved to help fulfill the Global Study portion of the general education program. Students may be eligible for a tuition waiver for their participation in a summer travel program.</p>

<p>Thanks for clearing that up for us! I guess getting in and getting there absorbed all of our concentration. First time we’ve looked beyond this semester.</p>
<p>When do they start to register for interterm?</p>
<p>Hi Singing Mom,</p>
<p>I suggest calling the Office of the University Registrar at 714-997-6701 regarding the approximate date when YOUR student can register for the 2013 Interterm.</p>
<p>Registering for Classes:
Currently enrolled students and students returning from an interrupted enrollment are assigned registration times based upon their completed credits as of the last term of attendance at Chapman. Students may register on or after their assigned time via the web or at a later time in person at the Office of the University Registrar. Registration is not complete until all charges are paid or arrangements have been made in the Business Office.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information. I was wondering when the process gets underway for everyone–the website doesn’t yet give the block of time for interterm registration.</p>
<p>I believe the interterm registration is in November.</p>
<p>My son has been talking to older students about this and he seems very interested in doing it. With no additional costs, I really can’t see a downside. Ocelite – it’s good to know that so many kids do take advantage of interterm classes. Means he won’t be lonely :)</p>
<p>Turns out interterm registration is along with registration for spring semester. Freshman D is in a tizzy because she just found out that she came in with so many credits from APs she is considered a sophomore and therefore has last priority for course registration. She fears she won’t get the courses she wants, particularly for interterm, and now she’s afraid to accumulate too many credits. Not sure why she wasn’t considered a sophomore for fall registration… She will take this up with her academic advisor, of course. Stay tuned.</p>
<p>As the Fan of Shakespeare stated the Sophomore year is evidently the hardest year to get classes at Chapman U because they register last. </p>
<p>The article below discusses the reason for this registration hierarchy that was established in 2007: </p>
<p>[Freshmen</a> register first, leaving some students upset | The Panther Online](<a href=“Roma77 RTP Slot Online Tergacor Deposit Pulsa Tanpa Potongan”>Roma77 RTP Slot Online Tergacor Deposit Pulsa Tanpa Potongan)</p>
<p>Good news for your D in the future Shakespeare; your D will be a considered a Junior when others in her class are Sophomores and she will be considered a Senior when the others are Juniors. So her registration future looks bright in the long run!</p>
<p>Why your D was not considered a Sophomore at fall registration: Your D did not have 30 units of AP classes. Adding the fall Chapman U classes put her over the 30 units mark.</p>
<p>Chapman U Class Level:
Students who have completed fewer than 30 credits are considered freshmen; 30–59.9 credits are sophomores; 60–89.9 credits are juniors; 90+ credits are seniors.</p>
<p>Well. that is interesting and curious about sophomores registering last…I wonder what the thinking is behind that? One would naturally think it would be freshman.</p>
<p>Freshman D, although technically a sophomore now because of # of credits, is being allowed to register as a freshman. She assumes this because she has been assigned 11/4, the earliest registration date for spring term.</p>
