Q
What summer courses are available?

In addition to summer courses offered by NCCU based on student demand (For the schedule and detailed regulations, please refer to the Office of Academic Affairs website or contact the Office of Registration.), students may also select courses from the Summer College and SOS Online School. Some of these courses may be recognized as general education credits. Students must follow the “Summer Academy General Education Course Implementation Guidelines and Registration Instructions.” Tuition is self-paid (discounts available for incoming freshmen and undergraduate students at partner schools; graduate students pay full tuition). Grades are recorded according to the University’s summer course regulations.

Q
How are summer course grades calculated? Will they affect my GPA or ranking?
A
Grades are recorded in the third semester for on-campus summer courses or the fourth semester for the National Summer College and SOS Online Summer Academy. They are not included in the GPA calculation for the first and second semesters, so they do not affect your GPA but will count toward your graduation ranking.
