Frequently Asked Questions about Summer Term
Admitted students for the fall are still considered "guest students" for the purposes of summer term, and should complete the guest application to register for a summer course.
No—registering for a summer course as a "guest" will not change or otherwise affect your admitted status.
If you have questions about which course is best for your requirements, please see the catalog and/or contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@calvin.edu for assistance.
Registration for summer classes will remain open until either the course fills up (in which case this list of courses will be updated to reflect this) or the course begins, whichever happens first.
However, if you are an incoming freshman or guest student, you must submit your guest application at least a week in advance of the course start date.
Summer classes marked as online are conducted online in their entirety, even science labs which are listed as online courses. There are no on-campus activities or requirements for online courses.
