January term is an OPTIONAL and intense period of study that is part of the spring semester. J-term grades and credits will be part of the spring semester term on your transcript. Due to its short length of time, a student can only take one course during the J-term.

For 2025 All students will be charged $575 per credit hour (see tuition and fees).Ìý The Spring bill will contain the J-term course fee. The Spring semester bill should be on a payment plan or paid in full before the payment deadline. Contact the Bursar's officeÌýto pay your bill or make other arrangements.

Because J-term is optional, a student’s financial aid typically will be based on the traditional spring semester coursework only. Contact a financial aid advisor with specific questions at financial-aid@onu.edu.
For 3-credit courses, J-term courses will be scheduled 12 days, 3-hours per day plus 1 day for finals. Students will be completing the coursework for one 3- credit hour course in these 12 days, instead of the typical 15 weeks. There are a few 2-credit and 1- credit courses running as well. If the course is marked synchronous online in Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s course offerings list, that course will meet during the time noted.
