Did you know that thousands of students enroll in summer classes each year? As you start to plan your summer, consider the benefits of taking one or two summer classes during convenient, short sessions offered between May and August:

Save time and money: All students pay by credit hour for Summer Session classes. This means you may be able to shorten your time to graduation and save money on tuition, housing, and food by taking summer classes.
Hundreds of in-person, online, remote, and hybrid remote/online courses available: The summer schedule includes more than 200 online classes plus over 150 remote or hybrid remote/online courses offered in multiple sessions to accommodate your needs. Create a schedule that lets you earn the credits you need to graduate no matter where you are.
Get into popular courses: Summer Session gives you an opportunity to get into popular or required classes that are often full during the fall and spring semesters.
Focus on fewer courses: Unlike the fall and spring semesters, Summer Session allows you to focus your attention on one or two classes at a time. You can immerse yourself in a topic you love or concentrate your efforts on a challenging class.
Flexibility: Summer classes provide you the flexibility to lighten your course load in future semesters or help you stay on track toward graduation.
Get back on track: If you are experiencing academic difficulty, summer is a great option for getting yourself back into good academic standing.

No matter your reason, Summer Session is a great option to advance your degree or get ahead.

New Online Development Program for Summer Session

New Online Development Program for Summer Session Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 10/16/2020 - 08:42

For the last 10 years, the Summer Online Course Development Grant Program has funded the creation of close to 200 online courses offered in the Summer Session. This program has provided compensation and guidance to faculty wanting to create online classes and focused on growing an inventory of online courses.

With the dramatic changes that occurred during the Summer of 2020, the Summer Session Deans have decided to end this program and replace it with a new training opportunity for faculty and instructors wanting to develop online courses for the Summer of 2021.

The Online Teaching Academy for Summer 2021 will focus on increasing the skills and knowledge of faculty and instructors wanting to teach Online and Hybrid Remote/Online. Participants chosen for the Academy's Summer 2021 program will work in cohort groups led by an Online Instructional Designer. Upon completion of the program, participants will be eligible to receive $1,500 added to their Summer 2021 teaching salary.

The training program will be held during February 2021 and will consist of weekly remote meetings over a four week period. The curriculum will be based on national standards for online teaching found in the Quality Matters Rubric and will cover topics regarding online teaching (asynchronous) as well as remote/online hybrid teaching (synchronous and asynchronous).

To apply for the Academy, please send an email to your department head expressing your interest in improving your online teaching skills. If your application is approved by your chair, then they should forward it with a statement of support to your School/College's Summer Session Assistant Dean. The deadline for applications is November 30, 2020.
