Summer Sessions

Carol Switzer, MS, Director

Purpose

Summer Sessions offers more than 4,000 fully accredited courses and provides an opportunity for students to begin or continue academic work on a year-round basis. Summer courses are equivalent to fall and spring courses in terms of content, credit awarded, and the standards expected of students regarding academic performance.

The program offers two five-week sessions and one eight-week session. See University Calendar, for specific dates.

All Tempe campus courses (except some KIN courses) are held in air-conditioned classrooms or laboratories. A number of courses are offered at off-campus locations.

Through various summer study programs, ASU also offers students the opportunity to earn credit while studying in foreign countries. These programs are directed by ASU faculty and have been approved by the appropriate academic unit.

For more information, access the Summer Sessions Web site at www.asu.edu/summer.

Admission and Registration

The admission and registration process for summer sessions begins when the Summer Sessions Bulletin is distributed in early March.

Admission

All students must be admitted to ASU for the summer as nondegree students before enrolling, except continuing students who attend during the previous spring semester. New students admitted for the fall semester following the current summer must process the summer nondegree admission form before enrolling. The submission of transcripts or test scores is not required to attain this status.

Readmission

ASU students not enrolled during the spring semester preceding the current summer must be readmitted. See Readmission to the University.

Conditional admission before graduation from high school may be granted. See Admission Before Receipt of Final Transcript.

Advising

All students are strongly encouraged to seek academic advising before enrolling in summer courses. See Academic Advising.
