The Interim Program is an innovative and intensive educational experience with courses offered between terms (“Interim”); Winter Interim between the fall and spring semesters and Summer Interim between spring semester and the summer term.  Interim Program courses are often creative and experimental, ranging from international and domestic travel to explore many topics of interest, to intensive seminars in psychology, experiential courses in business and independent projects designed by individual students.  Winter Interim is designed for on-line and travel courses only and is conducted during the winter break.   Summer Interim is held for a three week period in May and is the first part of the summer term.  Each Interim term offers numerous courses including some regular semester courses and many courses designed especially for the Interim term.  Virtually all of the University’s schools and colleges participate in the program, which is coordinated through the Office for Academic Affairs.

Registration for Winter Interim courses is a part of the registration procedure for spring semester.  Summer Interim course registration is a part of the registration procedure for the summer term and fall semester. Students may register for one course resulting in 3 or 4 credit hours depending on the course.  Questions about transfer credit for Interim courses should be directed to the Office of the University Registrar at (205)348-2020.  For an up-to-date listing of current Interim courses and prerequisites, students can visit the Interim website at interim.ua.edu. prior to the particular registration period.
