Publicizing Your Course

Start now:

75% of Summer Session enrollments happen between May 1 - 7. The best time to promote your class is in the winter quarter when summer plans are made.

Do it Through Established Communication Channels:

Course announcements, adviser recommendations, and word of mouth are the most powerful way to promote your class.

Outreach:

Students on waitlists for winter and spring courses can be referred to Summer Session's course list.
Students struggling in winter or spring classes, or failing to make minimum GPA or units/credit degree Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) can be referred to summer courses as well.
