Application Process

Application Deadline

Applications must be received by June 1, 2025, to ensure course confirmation and avoid cancellations.
Space permitting, applications will be accepted until the start of class. However, enrollment is limited for some courses.
If a course is full before an application is received, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list and notified if space becomes available.

Payments made after June 15th will incur a $50 late fee.
Accepted payment methods:
- Checks (payable to the University of Michigan in U.S. Dollars only)

Purchase orders are not accepted for tuition.
Advance payment of fees will expedite registration procedures.

The Summer Session reserves the right to cancel a course due to low enrollment, in which case students will receive a full refund of their enrollment fee.
To withdraw, students must email the Summer Session office at neko@umich.edu by 4:00 PM on July 1, 2025 with a reason for cancellation.
The $60 application fee is non-refundable.

Non-credit registrants are expected to fully participate in class activities (e.g., exercises, assignments, discussions).
However, they are not required to complete a final exam or project for grading.
No official grade will be assigned.

Courses have been evaluated for equivalency to the University of Michigan’s campus-based courses.
Course content, homework, participation, and grading requirements are reviewed by the Advisory Committee on Academic Programs of the School of Public Health.
Credits earned are valid for various U-M academic programs. However, acceptance of these credits at other institutions depends on their individual policies.

The Summer Session adheres to the University of Michigan School of Public Health’s grading policies.
Instructors will provide specific grading requirements (e.g., assignments, exams, presentations) in the course syllabus, including clear deadlines and grading criteria.
