Summer Enrollment
Some Postbac Premed students may need to begin their studies in the summer before their first fall enrollment to prepare for mathematics, chemistry, and physics.  Admitted students are limited in the coursework they can take over the summer. With very few exceptions, the only courses they will be allowed to take are Preparation for College Chemistry, Basic Physics, English or a mathematics course. Please see the grading policy for Basic Physics and Preparation for College Chemistry.

Most medical schools prefer all other coursework be completed during the regular terms of enrollment; the Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program in general does not permit students to enroll in summer classes, with the exception of an occasional lab or the twelve-week Physics II and General Chemistry II.

The reason for this restriction is a concern that the compressed schedule of summer classes is a poor way to learn and leaves students ill-prepared for subsequent courses and for the MCAT. Students who choose to enroll in summer classes against the advice of the Premedical Committee may forfeit committee support.
