Summer Registration

Summer terms include May Term, June Term and July Term. Each term is four weeks long.

Because course content is condensed into four weeks, the maximum number of credits that may be taken in any term is five.

Currently enrolled, degree-seeking students who are not graduating in May can register for 2026 summer on-campus and online classes beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, February 10.

Readmitting students who have been accepted to Hope and paid a deposit prior to registration opening will register at the same time as continuing students. The Registrar's Office will contact you after Admissions processes your deposit.

If you applied to graduate this May and have decided to push back your graduation date so you can take a summer class and apply it to your degree, email the Registrar's Office.

Course offerings and course delivery method/instructional modes are published on schedule.hope.edu.

Off-campus programs

To get started with participating in a summer off-campus program, visit the off-campus program website. There, you can search for programs by location, name, term and more.

When using the Simple Search, select "May/June - both" in the Term field to see results only for Vienna Summer School. Select "May" or "June" in the Term field to return results for all summer programs for the selected term.

If you have been approved to study on an off-campus program this summer, the Registrar’s Office will handle your registration for you. We receive the list of approved students from the program directors.

Non-degree-seeking students

Non-degree-seeking students who have applied and paid a deposit will be contacted and registered separately by the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office will begin registering these students on Tuesday, March 10.

SUMMER REGISTRATION DETAILS

The below information is for degree-seeking students who are registering for an on-campus or online course. If you would like to participate in an off-campus program or if you've already applied, follow those instructions above.

You will register register in My College Account. You can do this anytime after registration opens, until the drop/add deadline for that term (deadlines listed below and on the Academic Calendar).

You do not need a registration PIN for summer courses. You are not required to meet with your advisor beforehand, but we encourage you to anyway to make sure you're on track to graduate. You should also check your progress in your Degree Works.

Holds

Some holds will prevent you from being able to register. These holds are listed in My College Account. You will need to contact the appropriate office to find out how to resolve your hold before you can register. More information about holds is listed on this page, under the "Registration holds" accordion.

How to add or drop classes

Instructions for registering in My College Account are listed on this page, under the "How to register/make schedule changes" header.

If you want to drop a summer course before the drop/add deadline, you don't need permission, and you can do it in My College Account. The drop/add deadlines are listed below.

After the drop/add deadline, you can only withdraw for a W grade. The withdrawal dates are listed below. If you withdraw within the first week of the term, you will be given a 50% tuition refund. After that, you can still withdraw until the final withdrawal deadline, but you will not be given any refund.

Instructions for withdrawing from a course are listed here.

Waitlists

If a class fills up before you can register for it, you can add yourself to the waitlist. All summer courses follow the automated waitlist process. Instructions for adding yourself to a waitlist and how the automated waitlist process works are available on this page.

Course Restrictions and Overrides

Some courses have restrictions or requirements that need to be fulfilled before you can register for the class. Or you may encounter errors while you are registering.
