The summer sessions, offering more than 2,000 fully accredited courses, provide an opportunity for students to begin or continue academic work on a year-round basis. Summer courses are equivalent to fall and spring courses in content, credit awarded, and expected standard of performance. All ASU Main courses (except some EPE courses) are held in air-conditioned classrooms or laboratories. A limited number of courses are offered at off-campus locations.
There are three regular sessions, one of eight weeks and two of five weeks. The eight-week session and the first five-week session begin the same date.
During the summer, ASU also offers students the opportunity to earn graduate or undergraduate credit while studying in foreign countries through various Summer Study Programs. These programs are directed by ASU faculty and have been approved by the appropriate academic unit. For more information, visit the Summer Sessions Web site at www.asu.edu/ssc.
