Registration & Information

General Information

All students must enroll in J-Term their freshman year and take at least one additional J-Term course. Courses offered during the J-Term carry four credits, unless otherwise specified.

Grading

At the completion of all on-campus courses, some off-campus courses, and independent studies undertaken during J-Term, each student will receive one of the following letter grades:

• A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D- = Passing grade

Carthage students who are enrolled full-time for the academic year pay no additional tuition during J-Term. Off-campus study tours require a deposit (non-refundable) at the time of registration. To learn J-Term tuition fees for special/part-time students, contact the Carthage Business Office.

Withdrawals and Refunds
