Winter Institute

University of Arizona
Tucson, Arizona
January 6-10, 2019 (concluding at 11:30 a.m.)

Registration for Winter Institute is now open.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to a scheduling change with the University of Arizona, all classes for 2019 Winter Institute will be held at the Tucson Marriott University Park.  For those staying on property, this offers the convenience of a one-stop shop!

Please note there is a change in the schedule regarding meals.  Daily breakfast will be included Monday – Thursday, while you will have the opportunity to venture out on your own for lunches.  No need to worry if you’re not familiar with the area, as there are a plethora of lunch spots within walking distance from the Marriott.  Additionally, you will have access to a list of recommended lunch spots prior to arrival.

The spring semester at the U of A now begins on January 9, so students will be in town during the Institute week.  You will receive more information regarding this logistical schedule change from your Class Advisor in the coming weeks.
