Summer Terms The University offers many courses online in the summer in addition to the session on campus. Students can earn up to six credits beginning the week after graduation. The summer sessions appeal to a variety of students. Some wish to accelerate their college program. Students from other institutions may desire Bible courses that are not available at their institutions. Teachers find the summer terms a convenient means by which to update themselves in their disciplines. Others enjoy the advantages of smaller summer classes. Incoming international students recognize summer attendance as an excellent opportunity to become acclimated to academic pursuits before campus activities begin in the fall. Continuing students interested in attending summer school should contact the summer school office. New students should contact the admissions office.
