Summer Heat

What is the Summer Heat?

The Summer Heat is a way to:

• Earn additional credit hours in a 4-week session.
• Catch up on a missed class or finish your prerequisites.
• Take classes 100% online.
• Get one step closer to graduation.

Courses taken through the Summer Heat may be applied toward needed degree requirements. Check Degree Works and consult with your advisor before registering.

Enrollment is open to full-time or part-time UIW students, as well as community members looking to earn college credit.

Please note: No separate financial aid is available for Summer Heat. However, students may be able to apply a portion of their fall disbursements toward Summer Heat tuition. Students are eligible to receive Pell Grants. VA benefits are also available. The UIW Financial Aid Office can answer any related questions.

Upon applying to the UIW School of Professional Studies, a degree-seeking student enrolled at another university may, upon authorization by the institution, enroll in approved courses at the University of the Incarnate Word as a transient student with submission of an official transcript. A transient student may be admitted without submitting an official transcript by submitting, instead, a letter of good standing or a letter of permission from the home institution’s Academic Dean or Registrar. This is unless prerequisite course completion is required for specific coursework, where an official transcript from the home institution is required.
