The summer session is a <\/em>great time for students to catch up, get ahead, or try something new.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Summer session registration is still open, and many courses still have space.<\/p>

Each of UMW’s three colleges is offering a strong schedule of undergraduate and graduate courses. Over 140 course sections still have openings, and many are being offered in a fully online format.
\n
\nThe May\/June summer session starts on May 22 and lasts five weeks. The June\/July session starts on June 26. There are also courses that last either 10 weeks or 8 weeks; both of those terms also start on May 22. \"Students<\/p>

Did you know . . . <\/strong><\/p>

. . . a student can retake a course in which earned a C- grade or lower and the grade in the repeated class replaces<\/strong> the original grade? That’s one great way for students to heal their grade point average and get back on track.<\/p>

. . . many courses that will meet general education requirements, major requirements, and minor requirements are being offered this summer? That’s a great way for a student to lighten the course loads they will need to take next fall and spring and, who knows, maybe even graduate ahead of schedule.<\/p>

. . .  summer is a chance for a student to take a course they have wanted to try but couldn’t previously fit into their schedule? Taking a broader range of classes expands the student’s résumé and could make him or her more competitive in the job market.<\/p>
