Summer Study

Students wishing to take courses in summer school for credit must consult with the Office of the Registrar as to the accreditation of the college or university to be attended, the relevant departments for approval of the courses to be taken, and the major adviser for the feasibility of the courses in relation to the student’s total college program. A form with the required signatures must be filed with the Office of the Registrar in ample time for approval before the summer work is undertaken.

Students may make up academic deficiencies by taking approved summer courses, and the grades received in summer courses are included in the cumulative average. Students are advised not to embark on summer courses with the intention of accelerating before securing approval of their proposed plan in accordance with the conditions outlined under Academic Regulations and Degree Requirements.

Students are reminded that for courses taken at other institutions during the summer, after matriculation at Connecticut College, all grades and credits are posted to the student’s Connecticut College transcript using a transfer equivalency equation.
