Acceptance depends on both the quality of the proposal and the student s own qualifications. The Columbia Summer Session Normally credit for summer school is given to College students only for courses taken in the Columbia Summer Session. There is a 16-point limit for the entire Summer Session, with no more than 8 points in any Summer Session period or in overlapping periods. Any student who plans to take any courses toward their major or concentration, must consult with their major department. Not all courses in the Summer Session bulletin are creditable in Columbia College.
Copies are available in class center offices.
Obtain a form from the class center upon which they will outline their reasons for wishing to take summer courses and list the specific courses in which they wish to enroll. This form will be submitted to a committee in the class center that will determine whether or not summer school courses are approved for credit. Follow the specific instructions they will be given on how to proceed. Students applying for summer school credit for courses that they wish to use in partial fulfillment of the Science or Major Cultures requirements must submit a Science or Major Cultures course approval petition to 208 Hamilton for approval by the appropriate faculty committee. Approval to receive credit for summer school courses does not ensure approval of the course toward one of these requirements.
