A recent decision by Wayland's board of trustees is sweetening the deal, though. In an effort to attract more students to the shorter terms on the Plainview campus, the board cut tuition in half for the summer. We really want to encourage more students to attend summer school. Unlike high school days where summers in class were usually remedial, these summer terms offer a variety of core and upper-level courses that students of any discipline can take. Saul said summer courses are fairly intense since a semester's worth of information must be packed into three weeks.
Classes typically meet for three hours each day, four to five days each week.
The lowered tuition rates mean students who normally can't afford to stay for summer terms will have easier access. Local residents who may have been considering returning to finish their education or start from scratch may find new incentive in the reduced rates. Summer terms are open to new and current students as well as high school students who want to earn credit early.
