So You're Gonna Do Summer School...

I'll admit. It's not the most fun thing to be doing during the summer. The weather is nice, people are out having fun, and that 10 page essay is the LAST thing you want to do...


However, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and there ARE some advantages of doing summer school:
  • You can get ahead, and maybe take less than 30 credits next year? (sounds tempting doesn't it)
  • You can "fix" your marks- that D could turn into a B if you take the time to retake it, and during the summer is the best time
  • A class might be easier during the summer than if you take it during the normal school year. For one, you're able to focus more on 1 or 2 classes (as opposed to 5 or 6), and classes are known to be a bit more condensed in order to fit within the summer months
Intrigued? 


The summer term schedule it out now, and depending on your program and year of study you might be able to add classes already. 

Search for summer classes offered in 2014 here

Remember: 
The summer term works a bit differently than the fall/winter term, as there are different "terms" within the summer. So for example:
SU means the class will run from May 5- July 29 
S1 means the class will run from May 5- June 15
S2 means the class will run from June 23- August 5
There are a few more "terms" within summer so when adding a course, make sure you look for the code and find out what it means here

I took summer school in the summer 2013 term for the first time, and although there were times when I regretted it, before I knew it, it was over. I believe that if you give your 100% in the classes you take, you'll be happy you took it in the summer, especially when you get to take less classes in the following year!

Until Next Time, I'll be Yorking Around,
