Step 1. Choose a course
The following is a suggested list of courses for students who meet the criteria for the Summer Start Program. Students may take a course not listed, provided they have fulfilled the prerequisite requirement and received approval from the academic department or college. The Division of Lifelong reserves the right to review courses outside the suggested list for consideration.
Most of these courses meet core general education requirements. Some sections may be full. We will work with you to find an alternative if your selection is not available.
See course catalog for course descriptions. Course modes: HB = hybrid/blended, WW = fully online (asynchronous), DS = online synchronous (courses meet at a specific time and day as noted)
