Summer Session 2026 runs from Monday, June 22–August 30, 2026, although there are various session dates for individual courses within Summer Session. Many summer courses are flexibly scheduled, ranging from two to ten weeks and taught during the day, evening and on weekends. Please check course listings for specific session dates.
The University reserves the right to cancel classes when necessary, including those for which registration is not sufficient, so please register early. Even though students may register through the change of registration week, course cancellations are determined the first week of June, so some courses may no longer be available or be full at that time. This time period for registration includes all sections of the intensive sequence courses and courses that do not begin until the second half of summer.
