What are the Benefits of Summer Session? Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 02/23/2023 - 15:24

Did you know that thousands of students enroll in summer classes each year? As you start to plan your summer, consider the benefits of taking one or two summer classes during convenient, short sessions offered between May and August:

Save time and money: All students pay by credit hour for Summer Session classes. This means you may be able to shorten your time to graduation and save money on tuition, housing, and food by taking summer classes.
Hundreds of in-person, online, remote, and hybrid remote/online courses available: The summer schedule includes more than 200 online classes plus nearly 200 remote or hybrid remote/online classes offered in multiple sessions to accommodate your needs. Create a schedule that lets you earn the credits you need to graduate no matter where you are.
Get into popular courses: Summer Session gives you an opportunity to get into popular or required classes that are often full during the fall and spring semesters.
Focus on fewer courses: Unlike the fall and spring semesters, Summer Session allows you to focus your attention on one or two classes at a time. You can immerse yourself in a topic you love or concentrate your efforts on a challenging class.
Flexibility: Summer classes provide you the flexibility to lighten your course load in future semesters or help you stay on track toward graduation.
Get back on track: If you are experiencing academic difficulty, summer is a great option for getting yourself back into good academic standing.

No matter your reason, Summer Session is a great option to advance your degree or get ahead.

Steps you can take to use your summer to the fullest:

Visit the Summer Session website to familiarize yourself with summer dates and deadlines, enrollment and tuition information
Search for summer classes on the ŷ��ڱ��Ƶ Boulder Class Search
Talk to your advisor about how summer classes might help you reach your goals

Tips for Online and Remote Learning

Tips for Online and Remote Learning Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 03/26/2020 - 15:07

We understand the transition to distance learning can be a challenge. Below are a few tips and resources to help you be successful in your online and remote summer classes.

Time and place: treat online classes like any other class

Plan to work on your class according to a set schedule (e.g., MWF 9:00 am-11:30 am). Consider maintaining a similar schedule to the spring schedule you already established.
Put all deadlines for the semester in your calendar. This is always a good practice, but may be more useful now that you don’t have an instructor offering the normal in-person prompts.
Have a designated place where you work on your class (e.g., specific rooms in your home, a comfortable outdoor space, anywhere that is noise and distraction-free)
Get dressed like you would to go to class
Try not to work on the class too late at night
Never work on your course work in bed
Remember that specific dates/times for assignment deadlines are all in Mountain Time. You can change your default time zone within Canvas so your assignment due dates will be accurate regardless of where you are in the world.
Seek external accountability. Set up regular check-ins with academic coach, advisor, tutor, friend, parent to celebrate your successes and help you meet your deadlines.

Continue to utilize resources available on campus

Talk to your instructor
- All instructors are encouraged to have virtual office hours.
The Writing Center and the Online Composition Hub provide online writing support.
Create virtual study groups
- Zoom and Google Hangouts are great resources.
Reach out to your advisor
- Advisors are still available remotely during this time.
Use Disability Services accommodations
- Talk to Disability Services about how your accommodations apply in this new format.
- Keep lines of communication open with faculty.
Utilize Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS)
- 303-492-2277 (24/7 support)
Take advantage of tutoring
- If you have already established a tutoring relationship, ask if your tutor will work with you via Zoom.
- Consider increasing your contact for more regular check-ins.
- If you are enrolled in an online Continuing Education course, free tutoring is available via Thinking Storm. Look for a link embedded in your Canvas course.
