Important Notes

Upon admission, you will receive an e-mail with registration instructions. Please note:

• Although transcripts are not required for Summer Term admission, individual course instructors may request a copy of your transcript if the course has listed pre- or co-requisite requirements. If you do not provide this information, you may be dropped from the course.
• 3-week Sessions: Although you are permitted to register up through the third day of class, due to the compressed nature of these sessions, some instructors may determine that you have missed too much of the class and require that you drop. It is advised that you register no later than the first day of the session.
• Online Courses: After registration for an online course, it may take 24 – 48 hours before you obtain access. Students who register on or after the first day of classes will run into immediate access issues, which may cause you to fall irreparably behind.
• Payment for Summer Term registration is due upon registration. If payment is not submitted, you will be canceled and blocked from future registration. If the course is full, you may lose your seat. For complete information, including immediate payment exemptions, click here.
