Winterim 2026
Date(s): 01/05/2026 to 01/09/2026
Location(s): Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary
Description:
Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary is, once again, hosting Winterim in 2026. The STM Winterim will take place January 5–9, 2026. Alongside brothers in the ministry, pastors gather together on the beautiful seminary grounds and, once again, sit in classrooms together and worship together during chapel.
Please note: In 2026, most classes are offered only one week and will be separate from the MDiv students' Winterim courses (see schedule for details). Also offered again for 2026, pastors have the option to audit a course instead of taking a course for credit.
Check out the Winterim schedule! Room and board will be available for $250 (dorm room plus 14 meals in the cafeteria).
Registration will be available in the Student Information System (SIS) beginning September 8, 2025, and closes December 8, 2025. Use the "Login with Office 365 button" once you've received a student account and are logged in to Microsoft 365 with that student account. Need an account? Request one here.
When you've reached the "cart" during registration, there you will have the option to add the tuition fee to take the course for credit (the default registration is an audit).
WLS has been granted accreditation with ATS; therefore, the email domain has been changed from firstname.lastname@wisluthsem.org to firstname.lastname@wls.edu. Please use the new email domain to log in to Microsoft 365 and access WLS-related websites (e.g., Library Resources, SIS, SemNet).
Step-by-step instructions are provided here for all parts of the account setup and registration process.Financial assistance is also available for those taking courses for credit. If your congregation is paying for your tuition, please submit a financial aid request form with that information so you may receive the tuition discount.
