SCU Summer Session

Course Load Policy

There are NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE COURSE LOAD POLICY for the Summer Session. Students who register for more than the maximum course load will be administratively withdrawn from the course that creates the overload. Students who add overload units in violation of this policy may not receive credit for the course that causes the policy violation.

The intensive pace of Sessions 1, 2, and 3 require the following restrictions on summer course loads:

  • Session 1:  Students may not enroll in or attend more than two courses at any time during this session.
  • Session 2:  Students may not enroll in or attend more than two courses at any time during this session.
  • Session 3 (A, B and C): Students may not enroll in or attend more than one Session 3 lab science (Chemistry or Physics) course at a time. If you are enrolled in or attending a Session 3 lab science course, you may not be simultaneously enrolled in or attending any Session 1, 2, or 4 course. If you are enrolled in or attending a Session 3 non-lab science course, you may be simultaneously enrolled in or attend no more than one Session 1, 2, or 4 course

Session 4: You may carry up to 15 units in Session 4 courses (note: this does not apply if you are also registered for Session 1, 2, or 3 courses.)

Session 5: Contact the International Programs office at 408-554-6940 for course load restrictions.
