📅 Application Deadline: March 14th

📚 Summer Session Dates: June 6 – July 29

🎓 Eligibility: Students must have a 3.0 GPA to qualify.

📖 Course Options: Students may select elective courses only, ensuring no impact on their 2025-2026 course schedules.

💻 Course Format: All courses will be asynchronous virtual classes, but students must attend a minimum of one in-person meeting per week (at least 1 hour) at the Center for Advanced Technical Studies.
