Non-Standard Course Deadlines

Summer Session has some courses which are scheduled with non-standard periods of time, often shorter than the regular 8 week summer session schedule.  See Summer Session Non Standard Deadlines Calendar for deadlines. Please note that students who wish to make enrollment changes to any of these non-standard courses, after the regular deadlines in Axess, must go to the Student Services Center.

Enrolling in Classes

Instructions for enrolling in classes may be found on the Axess Help pages. Additionally, tutorial videos are available on the Student Services Center website. For technical difficulties when using Axess, submit a HelpSU request. Note that technical support is not available on weekends or holidays.

If you are a graduate student with approved TGR (Terminal Graduate Registration) status, you should check with your department to see if you should have summer enrollment as a TGR student. If you intend to enroll over the summer as a TGR student, you must enroll in an 801 or 802 course in your department.

Students Planning to Graduate in Summer Quarter

Registration is required in the term in which your degree is conferred. If you are not planning to enroll in courses during Summer Quarter, you need to apply for an alternative registration status (i.e., Permit to Attend for Services Only, 13th Quarter). See the Special Registration Status pages for more information. You should contact the Student Services Center (Tresidder Union, 2nd floor) for individual assistance.

The Bechtel International Center (iCenter) provides full information about maintaining your visa status. New international students on a F1/J1 VISA cannot enroll in classes until they have reported to the Bechtel International Center and presented their passport. This requirement ONLY applies during the first quarter of enrollment for NEW international students. See the iCenter's web page for further information.
