Summer 2026 - Session II Courses

To enroll in Summer courses, you'll work with an advisor to help you choose the courses that best fit your academic goals.

Semester Dates

Summer I - June 8th- July 11th

Summer II- July 13th- August 13th


Please pay attention to the online delivery method when choosing the course that you are interested in taking:

Asynchronous classes let students complete their work on their own time. Students will watch recorded lectures and are expected to log in regularly or complete assignments on specified due dates. The good news is that in asynchronous courses, you could hit the books no matter what hour of day (or night). When you look at the schedule of classes, asynchronous courses won't show a day or time. 

Synchronous classes occur in real time and have set schedules with students and instructors online at the same time. You will be expected to be present and participate during designated lectures, discussion and presentation hours. When you look at the schedule of classes, synchronous courses will show specific days and time.
