Dear Colleagues: 

We wanted to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding instruction during summer 2020. In order to provide our faculty, students, and staff with sufficient time to plan, the University has decided to offer summer 2020 undergraduate instruction online. Decisions about summer course offerings at the graduate level will be made by each College or School. 

As you may know, about 60 percent of our undergraduate portfolio of courses have been offered online in previous years. The Office of Summer Sessions is working with academic departments on transitioning the remaining 40 percent of face-to-face classes to an online format. Faculty who will be teaching courses that were previously offered in-person will be asked to participate in a Course Redesign Seminar that is facilitated by Academic Technology. 

The Summer Sessions schedule is different from the non-summer quarters. There are six  distinct sessions. Sessions 1 and 2 are five weeks in length; Sessions 3A, 3B, and 3C are each three weeks in length; and Session 4 is ten weeks in length. Please review the Summer Sessions 2020 calendar for important information, including tuition refund dates. As an example,  July 3 (Independence Day observed) is an administrative holiday but not an academic holiday; offices will be closed, but classes still meet.

Should you have additional questions or need more information, please contact the Office of Summer Sessions at scusummer@scu.edu.
