Learning, and Summer Session

SUMMER SESSION

Several summer sessions are held on the Irvine campus. The summer 2013 schedule is: Session I, June 24-August 1; Session II, August 5-September 11; overlapping 10-week session, June 24-August 30. Summer Session offers over 800 courses and annually enrolls more than 11,000 students, most of whom are UCI matriculated students. Those who enroll in these sessions and take an academic program equivalent to a regular quarter may accelerate their progress toward a degree.

Courses offered include a wide variety from the regular session, supplemented by offerings available only during the summer, including online courses. Admission is open to all university students, high school graduates, qualified high school students who have completed their junior year, and community members. Admission to Summer Session does not constitute admission to a regular session of the University; therefore, official transcripts of educational records are not required.

Travel-Study Programs

In addition to the regular curriculum, Summer Session also coordinates summer Travel-Study programs, providing students with the opportunity to earn UCI units while traveling abroad and learning more about the world and themselves. Programs are available in the following locations: Argentina, Cambridge, Chile, Cyprus, Italy, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Tokyo.

Information is available from the Summer Session Office, UC Irvine Extension Building A; telephone (949) 824-0234. Course listings are available in mid-November and online enrollment opens December 1.

Freshman Summer Start Program

Incoming first-year students are invited to take part in the Freshman Summer Start Program (FSSP). Students begin college during the summer, when the campus is more accessible and relaxed. They will be part of a small, highly motivated group of incoming students and have an opportunity to become familiar with the academic rigor and social scene of UCI under ideal conditions of maximum opportunity and support. The program includes special workshops and sessions on various aspects of campus life, as well as the lecture series, INSIDE UCI, which provides an introduction to research projects and faculty. For more information, including FSSP fees and schedules, visit http://www.summer.uci.edu/fssp or call (949) 824-0234.

Transfer Summer Start Program

Transfer students can begin their experience in the summer by taking part in the Transfer Summer Start Program (TSSP), an innovative, experiential opportunity which provides a small community of transfer students with a rich academic, social, and personal foundation. Special workshops and sessions which help students adjust to the academic rigor and social scene of the University include getting to know the faculty, career planning, leadership development, public speaking, and writing. The lecture series, INSIDE UCI, provides an introduction to research projects and faculty. For more information, including Transfer Summer Start fees and schedules, visit http://www.summer.uci.edu/transfer/ or call (949) 824-0234.

Visiting International Students

International students are welcomed to Summer Session, which is offered on an "open enrollment" basis. International students will need to demonstrate English proficiency with a TOEFL score of 213 computer-based, 550 paper-based, or 79 Internet-based (Summer Session also accepts the equivalent for the IELTS and TOEIC). Inexpensive on-campus housing is available to Summer Session students, and a full infrastructure dedicated to helping students succeed with their academic studies also is available. Summer Session also offers a full range of social activities so students can have fun as they broaden and deepen their study abroad experience, as well as their awareness and understanding of the Orange County area and American culture. For more information, visit http://www.summer.uci.edu or call (949) 824-4270.

High School Students

Highly qualified high school students can get an early start on college. Rising seniors in the upcoming fall quarter who have at least a "B" average in tenth- and eleventh-grade college preparatory courses can enroll in any lower-division course (numbered 1-99) which does not have a special prerequisite. The grades and units earned in a Summer Session course will be calculated in the UC grade point average if the student should later be formally admitted to the University.
