Summer Session

Summer Session General Info

DSPT will not be offering Summer Classes in 2013

Who Can Enroll?

Courses are taught at the graduate academic level; persons who take courses for academic credit are expected to have a bachelor's degree or the equivalent. Students who are new to DSPT may take courses for continuing education credits or as special students for academic credit. See Summer Session Registration for more information.

Transferring Academic Credit

The receiving institution always determines whether or not to accept transfer credit. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are fully accredited - please check with your registrar and/or academic advisor, prior to enrolling, as to the applicability of DSPT Summer Session courses to your particular degree program, and area of study.

Registration

Early Registration for current DSPT and GTU students begins Monday, April 9. General Registration for continuing education summer students begins Tuesday, May 15, and continues until the first day of class. To ensure a spot in a class with a maximum enrollment restriction and to help prevent cancellation of a course for which insufficient interest is shown, students should register as early as possible. Students who register the first day of class are assessed a same-day fee of $75. See the Registration page for complete registration instructions.

Program Changes

DSPT reserves the right to change course descriptions, instructors, dates and hours of instruction, meeting places, and prices. In the event of a conflict between printed material and information on this web site, the information on this web site takes precedence.

Students may change enrollment status - drop a course, change grading option, or change credit type - with the approval of the instructor and registrar. Changes to enrollment must be completed by the first day of class. A $50 processing fee applies.There is no tuition credit for changes from academic credit to CEU on or after the start of the course.
