May Term/Summer Online Class Registration

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Interested in taking a class that is completed in just three weeks time? Or try a class online through George Fox this summer? These opportunities can help you lighten your load during the regular school year or “catch up” to maintain pace for graduation. Both May Term and summer online classes offer a great opportunity to complete course credit without the distraction of other classes at the same time. In addition, the tuition for these classes is half the normal per credit rate during fall and spring. There are still many classes with available space. Check out class.georgefox.edu for a list of classes offered each term (choose May Term 2010 or Summer Term 2010).

 Since May Term classes are offered at the discretion of instructors, it is important that you register for May Term by Friday, April 16, so instructors can determine if enough students are enrolled; otherwise, a class may be cancelled due to low enrollment. If you have questions about the applicability of a class to your degree requirements, feel free to contact your enrollment counselor  for more information.
