Session II course fees are refundable up until August 14th, 2020 with the instructor’s signature. Students may apply for a refund of course fees on a Summer Session Course Change Request form.

Summer Bridge

Summer Bridge students will have their fees and expenses funded by the Summer Bridge Scholarship, based on student financial need. Summer Bridge Scholarship applicants must submit payment for only the non-refundable mandatory campus fee with their Summer Bridge enrollment form upon acceptance of the scholarship to hold their space in the program and courses. Upon completion of Summer Bridge, the campus fee will be reimbursed to students as a final portion of the scholarship.

Student Parent Orientation Program (SPOP)

All Freshman Edge students should attend SPOP in addition to Freshman Edge. Registration for SPOP is separate from Freshman Edge enrollment and requires a separate payment in order to reserve a space. Please see SPOP for more details.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available for students taking courses this summer. Please see our Financial Aid page for more information.

Refund Policy

The $183 mandatory campus fee and applicable course materials fees are non-refundable. Session II courses may be dropped without an instructor’s signature for a full refund of the per unit course fees until August 7, 2020. The absolute deadline to drop courses (with the instructor’s signature) for a full refund of the per unit course fees is August 14, 2020. No refunds of any kind are given for drops after this date.
