Supporting Student Progress with Maymester

|

Registration is Now Open

Running from May 11 to May 29, the Maymester term allows students to complete up to five credits through fully online, asynchronous courses. This three-week session is designed for focus, helping students maintain academic momentum, explore new subjects, and develop new skills without the competing demands of a full semester.

Why Recommend Maymester to Students?

The term is a strategic option for students looking to:

  • Complete a required course
  • Explore new subjects
  • Gain practical workplace skills
  • Accelerate degree progress
  • Free up their summer for internships, jobs, or travel
  • Balance their future workload

Explaining the Enrollment Process to Students:

  1. They must complete the Maymester Registration Request Form.
  2. A member of the WVU Online team will reach out to the student to confirm registration.

Please note: Due to the rigor and intensity of the courses, students can take no more than two classes totaling five credit hours.

Key Dates and Deadlines:

  • Last chance to register: May 7 by 4 p.m. ET
  • Classes begin: May 11
  • Last day for students to drop courses: May 13
    • Dropping after this date results in a 100% course charge for the student
  • Last day to withdraw with a "W": May 22
  • Classes end: May 29
