Why Take Summer Courses?

Norwich University makes it easy to study online at home or on campus over the summertime. There are many reasons to take a course over the summer including to fast-track graduation, pave the way for a semester abroad, or catch up. 

Taking a class over the summer can help you graduate early or lessen your load during the regular school year. Here are even more benefits:

  • Gain personalized attention and one-on-one support in even smaller class sizes.
  • Flexible hours allow you to have a summer job while continuing your education.
  • Use summer school to get ahead, complete a second or third major, or tack on a minor to add specializations to your degree. 
  • Focus on difficult classes rather than feeling overwhelmed by multiple classes, extracurriculars, and/or Corps duties.
  • Reduce your workload for upcoming semesters.

Financial Aid

There are financial aid options if you're interested in summer courses. However, financial aid can vary depending on your circumstances. We recommend speaking with the Office of Financial Aid to learn what financial support is available to you.

For students enrolled in at least 6 credit hours:

  • Pell Grant recipients may be eligible for summer Pell funding.
  • Students who have not used their full Federal Student Loan eligibility will be able to use their remaining amount for Summer School.

Students can apply for alternative loans that best meet their needs. Follow this link for a helpful starting point: https://choice.fastproducts.org/FastChoice/home/369200/1 

All other financial aid questions should be addressed to the Office of Financial Aid.
