Current UChicago Undergraduate Students

Enrollment Limits

Summer Session and September Term courses are on an intensive schedule: two Summer Quarter courses are the equivalent of a full-time course load. While it is not recommended, students can take up to five total courses in the summer, as long as they are not enrolled in more than two courses during the same dates. Some Summer Language Institute courses are 300 units. They are therefore considered full-time by themselves. For assistance in enrolling in a 5th course please email summersession@uchicago.edu.

Simultaneous Enrollments

Ordinarily, students may not enroll in courses whose class time overlaps given the expectation that all students attend courses for which they receive credit. However, simultaneous enrollment may be permitted in remotely taught courses with the permission of both instructors and the approval of the Summer Session office. Please find directions and a survey to submit a request at 2025 Undergraduate Simultaneous Enrollment Request.

Please check the course enrollment at Class Search before submitting a request.

The Waitlist Form should only be used to request placement on a waitlist for a Summer course, Summer Language Institute course or September Term course that is full. Incomplete or inaccurate submissions won't be accomodated.

Students are added to a course waitlist in the order their request is submitted. Seats are filled from the waitlist as they become available in this same order (first come/first served basis). There are no exceptions to this policy.

Please note:
- The Summer Session Office manages all waitlist requests. Appeals sent to instructors will be routed to our office.
- If you would like to request to be placed on the waitlist for more than one course, please submit one form per request.
- Students without an active Summer term cannot enroll themselves or be enrolled by another individual. Please request your summer term activation before submitting this form.

Students who wish to add or drop a course may do so via the self-enrollment process. Please check the drop schedule before dropping a class.

Once a course has started add/drop requests can be submitted to the Summer Session Office using the Add/Drop Request Form. A written instructor's permission is required to enroll in a class that has already started.

If you have questions, please email summersession@uchicago.edu.
