Summer Sessions provides options so that tuition costs don't keep you from taking classes this summer, including:

• In-state tuition for all: Everyone pays in-state tuition during the summer.


• Tuition awards: Qualified undergraduate and graduate students receive a three-credit tuition award for a required course.


• The Sweet Summer Deal: Take ten Summer Sessions and/or Center for Distance Education credits and get four more summer credits for free, plus get a substantial on-campus housing discount. The two units offer over 400 courses.


• Earn and Learn program: Take six credits and you are eligible for a part-time summer job on campus.


• Bouchum/Jones scholarship: Two $500 scholarships are for ambitious undergraduate summer students.
