Summer Session
San Diego State University summer courses can help you get ahead in your coursework and stay connected to your professors and the campus over the summer. SDSU offers a twelve week term (T1) and four sessions ranging from four to eight weeks in length (S1-4) to fit your summer schedule. Taking just one summer session course can put you on track to graduate on time or leave room in your schedule for an internship, a job, or participation in a student organization next year.
2025 Summer Session Dates
Summer registration begins on March 5. You can add open course sections to your schedule anytime from your registration appointment date through 11:59 p.m. on the last day of waitlists. If a course has no open seats, you can join the waitlist. If a seat becomes available, you will be automatically enrolled in the class based on your position on the waitlist. After 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the waitlists, you can only enroll in a course through a class permission number until the schedule adjustment deadline. Your schedule must be finalized by the schedule adjustment deadline.
