Summerterm 2026
Courses Offered
Summerterm courses will take place online and asynchronously from May 26, 2026 – June 26, 2026. We anticipate the complete schedule of available courses to be viewable in APR2 or our Guest Catalog as of March 2026.
Registration Information
Registration begins Monday, April 13, 2026, through Friday, May 8, 2026, at 4:30 p.m.
It is important to note that summerterm courses are worth the same unit value as a 15-week Fall or Spring semester course. It is expected that the same quality and amount of work is done within the summerterm timeline. Since this is a condensed format of a full semester course, students are permitted to register for a maximum of two courses or 2 units.
For students who are not currently enrolled at St. Lawrence University as a full-time student, please fill out Special Student Registration Form to register for courses.
