Help Your Student Design A Productive Summer

Taking a class during one or both summer sessions can

  • offer an encouraging boost to students getting ahead or catching up on required coursework, 
  • lighten academic loads for a fall and/or spring semester and reduce time to graduation, and 
  • create opportunities for students to take elective courses expanding their marketable skills and competencies for job and graduate school applications

Encourage your student to examine the class schedule, consider options, and consult with their academic advisor.
