Is Summer School in Your Future?

If you are thinking about taking a summer course to lighten your load for an upcoming semester or to fulfill a requirement, now is the time to contact colleges for information as to how to proceed. If you are able to take the class at the college where you are presently enrolled, then the process should be fairly straightforward.

However, if you are heading to another location for the summer and intend to take the course at a school other than the one you regularly attend, start by contacting your advisor, dean and/or registrar for requirements. They will alert you to your school's policy regarding the acceptance of credits. Most likely this information is available on your college's website.

Your university may have a strict or lenient policy, but it is sensible to be cognizant upfront, rather than disappointed later - - a costly mistake. Perhaps the course needs to be approved before enrolling. They may also require that it be taken from an accredited, 4 year university. Keep track of any correspondence online or in hard copy from your college and the summer school. If all your information is received verbally, it behooves you to follow up with an email confirming the details.

Next step: contact the colleges in the vicinity of where you will be spending your summer. Many colleges have begun listing their summer schedule online. Some are already accepting registration. Now is the time to make your arrangements.
