First Year Summer Catch-up Program Policy

If a student receives a non-passing grade one or more classes during the fall or spring semester and retakes the class(es) during the summer semester (subject to course availability), the student would be able to retake those classes at no tuition cost.

If a student receives a non-passing grade in one or more prerequisite classes during the fall semester (semester 1) and retakes the class(es) during the spring semester, the student would be able to take the required semester 2 courses in the summer that they were not able to take in the spring (subject to course availability) at no tuition cost (e.g., If you fail CS 120 in Fall, retake in Spring, then you are eligible to take CS 170, CS 230, and GAM 150 in Summer).

The value of the tuition credit is capped at two classes for summer. Students will be charged for their registered courses and will receive a tuition credit through a financial aid grant for the cost of tuition for these class(es). Students will need to pay for a class once, so if they received a refund from a dropped or withdrawn course that they are trying to retake the credit will not apply. Students will be responsible for all fees associated with the semester.

To qualify for no tuition cost courses during the summer semester, the student must be registered for classes during the following fall semester. If the student later drops their fall courses, they will retroactively be required to repay summer tuition.
