It’s time to register for summer school! Summer school is all about helping students register for the classes you need so you can graduate sooner. We have streamlined the schedule to include two six-week sessions and one 12-week session. Day and evening classes will be offered during all of the sessions. Summer class sessions begin May 14 and June 25.
