Summer Session 2026 runs from Monday, June 22–August 30, 2026, although there are various session dates for different courses within Summer Session. Summer courses offer flexibly scheduled sessions, ranging from two to ten weeks, day, evening and weekends classes, along with online and in-person modalities.

Important to Note: The University reserves the right to cancel classes when necessary, including those for which registration levels are not sufficient, so please register early. Course cancellations are determined in the first week of June, so even though students can register through the change of registration week, some classes may no longer be available or may be full at that time.

Once the change of registration week is over, students are no longer allowed to register for summer classes. This includes all sessions of intensive course sequences and classes being held in the second part of summer.
