How Do I Take Summer Session Courses?

I am a current cadet in good standing.

Cadets enrolled in the Spring 2026 semester and in good standing may register for Summer Session directly through Post View.

I am a returning student.

Cadets who have been absent for one semester or more must contact the Registrar’s Office to confirm your status and receive guidance.

I am an incoming first-year student.

Incoming students should refer to the Summer Transition Program (STP) page for approved course options and program details.

Students matriculating in August 2026 are not eligible to attend Summer Session unless approved in writing by the Superintendent. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Director of Summer Session and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
