Attendance at Tulane Summer School is no commitment that the student will be permitted to continue in the fall when admissibility is determined from cumulative records, including summer work. Full credit is given, without special approvals, for Tulane Summer School courses bearing numbers listed in the Liberal Arts and Sciences section of this catalog. Other Tulane Summer School courses may be taken within the 15-credit limit for supplementary program credits. Candidates for a degree may count up to 12 credits of summer work at Tulane among the last 27 credits that must be earned in residence. Students should consult with their academic advisor regarding their proposed Summer School program during the period of registration in the spring.
Academic advisors are available throughout the summer in the deans' offices.
Newcomb and Tulane College students may register for no more than 18 credits in Tulane Summer School during a single year. Students who earn a GPA of 3.000 on 15-18 credits completed in Tulane Summer School but fail to meet the continuation standards at the close of summer, may petition for continuation of their probationary status in the Fall semester. The final decision on the academic status of these students will be made by the Committee on Academic Requirements. Students in academic good standing may attend the summer school of any regionally accredited institution. If they wish to be certain their credits at another institution will be accepted by the liberal arts and sciences colleges, they must obtain prior approval of their choice of institution and proposed summer program no later than the end of the final-examination period in the spring semester.
