Summer 2011 Enrollment Initiative

Summer Sessions extend from May 11, 2011 to August 8, 2011. There is a great variety of durations and timings available for summer courses. Taking summer courses give many students a head start over their classmates and shortens the time to graduation. Your academic advisor will be happy to help you determine the courses that will best fit with your academic plan. For more information, view our Frequently Asked Questions.
