Notes

Please note that Summer School courses are very condensed, with 4 hours of instruction per day for 20 days for the 5-credit courses and 12 days for the 3-credit courses. Missing any time from summer school will impact student success. It is extremely important that you attend every day.

Missing one day of summer school is like missing 4 days of instructional classes during the regular school year.

Students taking 5-credit courses may be withdrawn on their 4th absence.
