Summer Session

In the summer, all the colleges of the University combine their course offerings into a single catalog, published by the Office of Summer Session and Special Programs. Thus, it is the one time of the academic year that courses offered by other colleges are available to continuing SCS students at SCS's tuition rate, and without special permission. With a few exceptions, continuing SCS students are granted three semester hours of credit for each course. Students who register for their first NU course during the summer, as students at large, and later register with SCS, will receive the amount of summer course credit granted to non-SCS students, which is usually 2.66 semester hours per course.

Students should clarify with an adviser the credit available for Summer Session courses, as well as the applicability of those courses to SCS certificate and degree programs.
