ABOUT US:

The North Carolina Central University Summer Session has its origin in the earliest history of the institution, beginning in 1910. Its primary goal is to give variety and flexibility to the instructional programs of the University, while providing a quality education.

Some of the advantages of the Summer Session are:

• the ability for students to learn a full semester of coursework in a shorter span of time;
• the opportunity to reduce their course load in the upcoming semesters;
• a great jump start for incoming new students to fulfill their objective of obtaining a degree;
• there is a balanced lower teacher-student ratio per class and, all of the requisite core classes are being offered;
• provide opportunities for continued guided research at the graduate level.

Summer Sessions are open to all students who are enrolled in degree or non-degree programs, high school graduates, students enrolled at other institutions and individuals in the community interested in courses for personal enrichment or professional advancement.

The Summer Sessions also assist teachers who need credit toward renewal of teaching certificates or advanced degrees, persons in professional fields who wish to keep abreast of new developments and trends. Additionally, the Summer School takes the opportunity to pioneer in the offering of new courses in the form of workshops and institutes to meet the community’s particular needs.

Visiting students who wish to continue at NCCU must be admitted through the regular undergraduate or graduate admissions process.

Admission to the Summer School does not automatically mean admission as a degree-seeking student. Each non-NCCU student planning to attend NCCU during the summer must notify the Summer School Office of the University College of his or her desire to do so by completing and returning a Summer School application form.
