Attendance, Credit and Final Examinations

If you know that you will be absent from the first class meeting of a course in which you are enrolled, you are responsible for notifying the instructor of your intended absence before the first day of instruction. If you do not, you may be required by the instructor to drop the course from your schedule via SISWeb.

Academic requirements in Summer Sessions are the same as in other terms. Since courses are given in six weeks rather than the usual 10-week quarter, students should plan for a concentrated schedule. Those who hope to work at the same time they attend Summer Sessions should be especially aware of this.

Students are expected to attend classes regularly and to complete, by the end of the session, all work and examinations for the courses undertaken. Final examinations are generally held during the last regular meeting of each course.

Acceptance of a particular course toward any degree in the university is subject to the approval of the authorities of the college or school in which the degree is offered. Two summer sessions are generally accepted as the equivalent of one quarter of residence for a bachelor’s degree.

Students from other colleges and universities should ascertain from their own institutions whether courses taken in the Summer Sessions at UC Davis will fulfill specific requirements at the institutions where they are registered.
