Center for Student Success: Summer Term

Taking classes at Calvin in the summer is a unique opportunity to concentrate on your studies and receive Calvin credit at a reduced cost.

Take advantage of low costs for classes

We’ve greatly reduced the cost of Summer Term courses to $520 per semester hour (down from $826)—and you may be eligible for financial aid.

Improve your GPA

During Summer Term, you’re free to give your full attention to just one class at a time, making your learning experience more focused. If you need to raise your GPA before the fall semester, Summer Term is an excellent opportunity for improvement.

Summer Term is ideal for students with a demanding academic schedule. It’s an excellent chance to earn the Calvin credits you need to graduate on time—or maybe even ahead of schedule.
