SCOPE

Summer Session is an integral part of the academic program at the University of North Dakota. Both undergraduate and graduate courses are taught during the twelve-week Summer Session. In addition to regular classes, special classes, programs, field trips, workshops, conferences, and other short-term activities are conducted.

More than 200 faculty, as well as distinguished visitors, contribute to a quality educational program during the Summer Session. All facilities of the UND campus-- including libraries, galleries, music facilities, theatres, lecture halls, dining rooms, and residence halls-- are utilized by students attending the Summer Session.

SUMMER SESSION STUDENT BODY

Summer course offerings are for everyone, from juniors in high school to senior citizens. During the Summer Session, courses are offered for students who have completed their junior year in high school and wish to get an early start toward earning college credit. Other typical groups of students found on campus during the summer include: teachers and administrators working toward advanced degrees, students from other colleges, freshman students beginning their academic courses, adults updating their educational backgrounds, professionals wishing to work toward certification, and students wishing to accelerate completion of their degree programs. summer session schedule

The twelve-week Summer Session allows students to register for a wide variety of courses which meet for various lengths of time during the Summer Session. Some courses meet for twelve weeks while others meet for six weeks. In some instances courses may be taught in sequence. For instance, Spanish 101 may be offered during the first four weeks and Spanish 102 may be offered during the second four weeks of the twelve-week Summer Session.

Along with the twelve- and six-week courses, some courses will be one, two, four, and eight weeks in length. Normally, a student will not be allowed to enroll in more than 15 semester hours during the twelve-week Summer Session. Special dates are provided in the Summer Session Time Schedule of Classes.
