Your student can study with Bucky this summer!

The dead of winter isn’t too early for students to make educational plans for summer. UW–Madison offers more than 1,000 credit courses during the summer term, giving students the opportunity to finish degree requirements sooner. Many of these are cutting-edge residential or international programs offered only in the summer.

How long do summer courses last, and when are they offered? Summer courses vary from one to 14 weeks. The most popular is the eight-week general session, June 18 through August 12.

What does summer tuition cost? Students pay by the credit based on their classification (undergraduate, graduate, professional master’s) and residency. For more information, visit the registrar’s tuition website, registrar.wisc.edu/tuition_ &_ fees, and select Summer 2012 Term/Semester.

How does my student enroll? Through the My UW Student Center, the same way students register for fall and spring courses. Summer enrollment begins in late March.

Where can my student go for questions? Academic advisors can help students choose the right courses, understand degree requirements and policies, and achieve academic goals.
