Summer I

The Summer I session started today at 8:00 a.m. Students have until the end of the day Friday to add/drop a Summer I course. The official census count will be taken at the end of the day on Monday, May 12. Please make every effort to ensure that all students attending Summer I courses are registered in Banner so they can be accurately reflected in our census counts.
