Summer School Success

This time of year many students contemplate whether or not taking classes in the Summer would be beneficial or not. Summer classes can be a great experience for any student catching up on credit you may need to earn and also to have the ability to move forward in your major. Detailed below are some tips on enrolling in Summer classes:

•Decide which courses you would like to take that are being offered and space out the courses in the Summer so you can earn the credit you need without feeling overloaded.

•Consider taking classes online in the Summer. This format allows for more flexibility with time, and if you haven’t taken an online class before it’s a great way to gain the experience.

•If there is a course you need that fills up easily in the Fall and Spring, check to see if the course is being offered in the Summer. This may offer an ideal opportunity for you to enroll in a popular course.

•Be conscientious of the time a course runs in the Summer. Typically, courses are on a shorter schedule, which is great to complete credit in a faster turnaround time. However, you don’t want to run the risk of falling behind.

•Summer courses can offer students smaller class sizes as classes may not be as filled as the more attended Fall and Spring courses, which can help students who may need more attention regarding the material being learned.

Last but not least, remember to enjoy your Summer, recharge your batteries, and prepare for another great academic year, when you return in the Fall!
