Summer Classes
Summer at LMU consists of two consecutive 6-week sessions, each the equivalent of a 16-week semester. The sessions do not overlap and students are welcome to attend both sessions. Because of the compressed nature of the classes, students are limited to 6 semester hours per session, which translates as two classes per session. Students with six hours in a 6-week Summer session are classified as full time.
Summer classes are a means for students to get ahead or catch up with required courses. It provides students with the opportunity to enrich the learning experience with classes that may not fit into the program of study during the Fall and Spring semesters. Classes during Summer are taught by LMU faculty and are smaller than Fall or Spring semester courses which allows the student more one-on-one time with the instructor.
Campus facilities including the library, computer labs, bookstore, recreation center, and pool are open to Summer students. On-campus housing is available to most students. Classes are offered on campus as well as through various study abroad programs around the world and select classes are available online.
Undergraduate Summer courses at LMU are open to everyone as long as the requirements of the, prerequisites, and academic standards of the course can be met by the student. High school students looking for the opportunity to earn college credits may attend as soon as the 11th grade is completed. Graduate level courses are restricted to students formally admitted to the University through Graduate Admisssions
