Explanation:
If you google it, you'll find a lot under these terms. The main idea is that the winter term is not a full semester but more of a month long period where the students can either study abroad, or take extra classes, etc. I've also seen "cursos/clases intensivas de invierno".

http://www.depauw.edu/admin/winterterm/

DePauw University operates on a 4-1-4 calendar. The month-long Winter Term, which takes place each January between fall and spring semesters, reflects DePauw's serious commitment to non-traditional, experiential learning. Winter Term is a time of adventurous, intellectual exploration in an atmosphere with a reduced emphasis on grades.

During the academic year 2010-2011, Winter Term will be held from January 3 - 28, 2011.

The faculty have cited the following, among others, as general goals of the Winter Term experience for DePauw students.

* Students may study or work intensively on a specific problem or on a topic of significant personal interest and educational merit.
* Explore a new subject.
* Work collaboratively on a project with faculty members or professionals who have similar interests.
* Study a problem or topic from a cross-disciplinary perspective.
* Learn and practice a new skill
* Participate in a valuable group experience in a work, performance, or educational setting.
* Explore a potential career or experience a field of work related or unrelated to one's field of study.
* Learn about oneself in relation to potential majors.
* Work and live with others while providing a community service.
* Participate in an alternative community experience.
