Summer Session - General Information
Eligibility for Summer Courses
Persons in good standing at regionally accredited colleges and universities, graduates of such institutions, and students admitted for the next fall term are eligible to attend Augsburg’s Summer Session. Good standing implies that the student has been admitted and not subsequently dismissed by that institution.
Students accepted for Summer Session are not automatically granted admission as regular students of Augsburg College.
Those wishing to begin a degree program at Augsburg should apply to the Office of Undergraduate Admission or the Augsburg for Adults Admission Office
Course Loads in Summer Session
Students may take up to 2.0 credits in each summer session. However, course loads for terms that overlap may be increased based on a student’s cumulative GPA (Cum GPA). Specifically, the combined credit load for Day/WEC/Rochester/United/Grad students between Spring Trimester, Summer Session I, and Summer Online I is limited to 2.0 credits but may be increased to 3.0 credits if the Cum GPA is 3.00 or better. Additionally, the combined load between Summer Session II and Summer Online II is limited to 2.0 credits at any one time, but may be increased to 3.0 credits if the Cum GPA is 3.00 or better. Students desiring to exceed these limits must petition the Student Standing Committee prior to registration. Unless otherwise indicated, all courses carry a value of 1.0 course credit. One Augsburg course credit is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits.
