Nota Bene: Summer Session at VWU

Summer and Winter Session programs create a thriving year-round campus and contribute to cohort graduation rates and retention.

Therefore, I invite each of our students, whether you need to pick up some classes or plan to complete your bachelor's degree early, to consider Summer Session at VWU. With flexible options online or on campus, you can hit the books in the morning and the beach (and maybe summer jobs) in the afternoon.

Summer Session courses are affordable—discounted 73 percent compared to fall and spring tuition—and students can earn up to 12 credits in course work, independent research or internship credit. To accommodate busy schedules, Summer Session will be offered in five terms:

Summer Session 1:
May 29 - June 26 (4 weeks)

Summer Session 2:
May 29 - August 17 (12 weeks)

Summer Session 3:
July 9 - August 17 (6 weeks)

Summer Session 4 (online):
May 21, 2018 - July 6 (7 weeks)

Summer Session 5 (online):

July 9 - August 24 (7 weeks)


Special thanks to Dr. Deirdre Gonsalves-Jackson, Director of Winter and Summer Sessions and Associate Professor of Biology, for coordinating this outstanding offering that both complements and strengthens Virginia Wesleyan's academic program.

I encourage interested students to speak to their academic advisors if they wish to participate. For additional information, including a list of course offerings, visit
