Registration
The process you follow to register for Summer Sessions depends on your student status.
Continuing students: Register online through Banner
Non-matriculated students: Find information on how to register, including a link to the registration form, on the Non-Matriculated Student FAQ page.
Registration Deadlines
- Adding courses for 2- and 4-week sessions: You must register by the third business day of the session. Registrations will not be accepted after this date.
- Adding courses for 8-week sessions: You must register by the fifth business day of the session. Registrations will not be accepted after this date.
- Dropping courses: You must drop a course before it ends. Once the course has ended, you will not be allowed to withdraw.
- Internships, independent studies, individual instruction, and dissertations have the extended registration deadline of Monday, July 22.
The registration deadline for summer courses varies. You can register for a course up until the first day of class. Web registration for summer courses will also vary depending on the start date of each course. Web registration may close before the course starts, and students will need to register in an alternative fashion (see alternatives above).
If you receive the error message, “Registration changes are not allowed. Course status dates not within range for part of term,” web registration has closed for that course.
Summer Waitlist
If a Summer Sessions course fills, you should be able to add yourself to a waitlist. If a spot in the course opens prior to the first day of class, Banner will automatically send you an email notification of the open spot. You are responsible for registering for the course within the time period given in the email notification and prior to the first day of the class.
The waitlist will be active beginning the first day of Summer registration. The registration window will be 24 hours after the email notification of an open spot is sent to you, up until the Monday after Commencement for Spring Quarter. Beginning the Monday after Commencement, the registration window will shift to 72 hours for the rest of the summer.
If you miss your email notification or forget to register, you automatically will be dropped from the waitlist and the you must re-add yourself to the waitlist if you still desire a spot in the course.
The waitlist will close to “adds” a few days prior to each Summer Sessions course session. That means you will not be able to add yourself to a waitlist, but if you are already on the waitlist and space becomes available, you will still be able to register into a course for which you have received a notification, provided the course has not already begun.
