In addition to the University s course offerings during the regular academic year, students may enroll in courses during the University of California Summer Session which is supported from student course and registration fees.
Campuses offer between two and five sessions during the summer, lasting from four to nine weeks.
Courses are offered both for degree credit and in selected specialized programs. Summer degree programs offer a broad spectrum of instruction, with each campus determining its own course offerings. Specialized programs provide refresher courses for new and continuing students and enable students to accelerate progress toward degrees. In addition, most campuses have special programs for new or potential students who have academic deficiencies. Instruction during summer sessions is provided by UC faculty, visitors from other universities, and lecturers.
