Summer Session  

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences does not offer courses in the summer session; summer courses that are available to students enrolled in GSAS are offered by the School of Continuing Education.

Ph.D. students and full-time students in free-standing M.A. programs do not earn full-time Residence Unit credit during the summer. Rather, students pay tuition for courses they take in the summer session.  If the courses that they take are applicable to the graduate degree as approved by the department and the GSAS Office of Financial Aid, the tuition paid may be deducted from the cost of a Residence Unit or Extended Residence in the subsequent fall term. Students will not receive this tuition reduction if they do not complete the summer session course or if they register for any registration category other than Residence Unit or Extended Residence in the subsequent fall term.
Students on fellowship who wish to take advantage of the reduction must submit applications for summer tuition credit to the GSAS Office of Financial Aid before enrolling in a summer session course.

M.A. students who are enrolled part-time in programs that require Residence Units earn (and pay tuition for) a half or a quarter Residence Unit during the summer, depending on the number of courses for which they enroll. M.A. students who are enrolled in programs for which tuition is paid by the credit point during the fall and spring semesters pay tuition by the credit point for summer session courses.

Students should be aware that the amount of tuition for summer session courses (administered by the School of Continuing Education) is not exactly the same as that for courses in the fall and spring semesters (administered by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences).
