Registration
Special Summer Programs (Elementary Russian, Intermediate German, International Summer Program) Contact Dr. Shaughnessy mshaughnessy@washjeff.edu
W&J Students: W&J students can register for Summer School courses on W&J Advisor in the same way that they register for Fall 2013 courses. Students who have been "cleared" to register for Fall 2013 are also cleared to register for Summer School courses.
Visiting Students: Visiting students can register online.
All Students: Our registration process has three different windows (described below): Initial Registration, Supplemental Registration and Final Registration. We are currently in final registration.
-
Initial Registration (Deadline: May 1): Initial registration will open for visiting students as soon as the courses are posted in mid-March; initial registration will begin for W&J students at the same time as registration for Fall 2013 (by class, starting on April 8). Initial registration will continue until Wednesday, May 1. Based on registrations at that point (May 1), courses will either be guaranteed to run (Green Light), canceled (Red Light), or continued for Supplemental Registration (Yellow Light). The Supplemental Registration period will run until May 22--at which point the final decision will be made for all Yellow Light courses. Following this final decision, students will be able to register for any of the remaining courses. Since student registrations determine which courses will be offered, we strongly encourage students to register before May 1.
-
Supplemental Registration (Deadline: May 22): Starting on May 6, there will be a Supplemental Registration period. This registration will be limited to those courses that are either "Green Light" (guaranteed) or "Yellow Light" (contingent) courses. Those "Yellow Light" courses that secure sufficient registration during the Supplemental Registration will run; those "Yellow light" courses that do not secure sufficient registration during the Supplemental Registration will be closed. Students who are in "Yellow Light" courses might then consider encouraging a friend (or friends) to sign up for the course in order to help it to run. In any cases when students are in a course that is canceled, those students will be notified and given the opportunity to switch into a course that is running.
-
Final Registration (Deadline: Start of Classes {June 3 for Summer I, July 8 for Summer II}): Once the final set of courses has been determined (by May 24), students (both W&J and Visiting) may register for those courses up until the first day of classes.
Tuition/Fees
Tuition for Summer School 2013 is $2200 per course for four credits or $550/credit hour .
Designated lab/studio courses will have a $100 lab fee.
Travel courses may have other fees/expenses associated with the travel.
Registration Deposit: A $100 Registration Deposit is due at the time of registration--and will secure your registration in the course. The deposit will be credited toward the tuition payment for the course. The deposit will be fully refunded in the event that the course does not run; the deposit will not be refunded if the course runs.
Payment: Full payment must be received before the start of classes. For Summer Session I courses, payment must be received by May 31, 2013; for Summer Session II courses, payment must be received by July 5, 2013. Payment can be made by check, credit card, or cash at the Business Office. You may call the Business Office at 724-223-6014 to make payment arrangements.
Tuition Remission: W&J employees and their dependents are eligible for tuition remission during Summer School. In order to take advantage of tuition remission, the W&J employee must complete a form that is available on the Human Resources website. Please note: While tuition remission students may register for any of the Summer School courses that are listed, the decisions about whether a course will "run" or not will be based on the number of paying students registered for the course. In the case that a course is cancelled, any tuition remission students in that course will have the opportunity to switch into one of the courses that is being offered.
Room/Board
Housing Options: On-campus housing will be available during Summer School.
Types of accommodations are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in on-campus housing, you may apply by visiting www.washjeff.edu/reslife or in person.

$135.00 per week for a non air conditioned double as a single occupancy room

Meal Plan: We will be offering a meal plan during Summer School 2013. We will offer a block meal plan with Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner available during the week and a Brunch/Dinner schedule on weekends. The cost for the meal plan will be $465 per term. Students may sign up for the meal plan at the Office of Residence Life (724-229-5120).
