What summer courses will be available?

Summer course schedules will be posted during the Spring quarter on the Schedule of Classes page on the UCSD Summer Session website.

Summer course offerings are tentative as they will depend on the instructor (may vary each year) and the course will only be offered if there is sufficient enrollment in the course. If a summer course has low enrollment, the course is canceled per University policy. Please review all other information on the website above as Summer varies the most compared to all other academic quarters.
