Policies

Credit Load

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. All students are urged to consult with their academic advisers prior to registering. Registration for courses with conflicting or overlapping meeting times is prohibited. Students are prohibited from registering for two 1-credit workshops in the same week.

Adding or Dropping Courses

Deadlines for adding, dropping or withdrawing from a course vary according to the duration of the course, see Summer Registration Deadlines. All registration activity is done through VandalWeb.

Auditing Courses

Auditing a course consists of attendance without participation or credit. Audited courses are recorded on the transcript. Students auditing a course will pay the regular course fees noted in this catalog. 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 students can register only when the prerequisites have been met or instructor permission is granted. Course prerequisites are details in the course descriptions in the Catalog.

Transfer courses are evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Please refer to the Registrar's Office for more information about transferring credit.

Summer final grades are posted in VandalWeb and are viewable once processed by the Registrar's Office; see more information about grades.

Grades are posted to transcripts periodically throughout the summer; refer to transcript ordering information on the Registar's website.
