UIdaho Summer Session

The maximum credit load allowed for summer session is 18 credits for undergraduates and 16 credits for graduates. However, because of the short duration of most summer course offerings, students should exercise caution in deciding on their summer credit load. You are urged to consult with your academic advisor prior to registering. Registration for courses with conflicting or overlapping meeting times is prohibited. You are prohibited from registering for two 1-credit workshops in the same week.

Deadlines for adding, dropping or withdrawing from a course vary according to the duration of the course, see the academic dates and deadlines. All registration activity is done through MyUI.

Auditing a course consists of attendance without participation or credit. Audited courses are recorded on the transcript. If you choose to audit a course, you must  pay the regular course fees. A Change of Registration Form must be signed by the instructor and submitted to the Registrar’s Office by the deadline to audit a course. 

Course prerequisites are enforced for registration, meaning you can register only when the prerequisites have been met, or instructor permission is granted. Course prerequisites are details in the course descriptions in the course catalog.

Summer final grades are posted in MyUI and are viewable once processed by the Registrar's Office. 

Grades are posted to transcripts periodically throughout the summer; refer to transcript ordering information.

Fees are charged on a per-credit-hour basis.

Web and hybrid course fees are in addition to the regular per-credit-hour fees.
