Courses are listed alphabetically by schools and departments. Students also have access to the Student Health Service . The same faculty who make this university one of the nation's best teach these courses with the assistance of specially recruited visiting professors and selected graduate teaching assistants. About 6,000 students with varying interests and backgrounds are on campus studying during any summer session. In the summer of 2000, for example, the University welcomed students from all but one county in North Carolina, forty-seven states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and sixty foreign countries.
Course credit earned is equivalent to the same course credit in the fall or spring term.
Late afternoon and night classes are available. If you wish to register for more than eight credit hours, contact your dean for approval. If you are taking a concentrated short course, it may preclude your taking any other course in the same session. You may audit any course that lends itself to this practice and has space available. Certain departments, such as Romance Languages, do not permit auditing.
