Is it possible to take first summer session, second summer session, and 10 week summer session in one summer if all your courses are going to be via the internet? I could be wrong about this but I beleive these are the three summer sessions, please correct me if I am wrong. Just trying to finish up and would like to pack as much into this summer as possible.

can't take more than 6 hours per summer session without a course load waiver

also, http://www.ncsu.edu

you can take up to 7 hrs a session. and what happens is the credits from the 10 week course count in both the first and second session. So you could take 1 (3hr) ten week course, and 4 hrs in each of the first and second sessions. Or 7 each session.

there are really only 2 sessions. the 10 week courses take up both sessions.

so with out permission, the most hrs you can take in a summer is 14.

Thanks that is what I thought it was saying on the website but it wasn't very clear. I appreciate your response.

^^ not necessarily.

10 week summer session hours only count in your 1st summer session slot.

You can take two courses per summer session. After that, you have to have a course load waiver.

10-week courses only show up in SS1, but you can still only register for one other class during SS2.

For example, you can register for:

- Two regular classes during SS1 & two regular classes during SS2
- One regular class during SS1 with a 10-week class & one regular class during SS2
- Two 10-week classes & no other classes during SS1 & SS2

so the easiest way to pack the most into this summer is two regular classes during SS1 & two regular classes during SS2.

so you cant do 3 10-week sessions even though its only 9 credit hours, without a waiver?

LIKE I SAID IN THE FIRST POST

BE A FUCKING ASS WHY DONT YOU

3/25/2007 10:06:36 PM

i wasn't talking to you dawg

^ you were wrong in your first post. I just tried and was able to sign up for 8 hrs in the first session (including a 10 week) and 8 hrs in the second session not counting the 10 week. After that a box came up saying i needed a waiver and it canceled my request.

v she is kind of right. You could have two 4hr courses and a PE. But you can't take 3 3hr courses.

It's possible to take 9 without a waiver.

I don't get why the course load options for summer are so hard for so many people to find/understand.

3/25/2007 10:32:08 PM

the p.e. does not apply here "if all of your courses are going to be via the internet."

3/25/2007 10:51:11 PM

^ everything was right in your first post. But I signed up for a 10 weeks course and regular 3hr course first session and it let me sign up for 8hrs during second session not counting the 10week course.

3/25/2007 10:54:45 PM

^the system isn't perfect, but it did cancel your request - because a 10-week does count for both sessions.


^_^

no, it didn't cancel my request until I tried for 9hrs. It was fine with 8 in summer I (w/3 of those hrs being a ten week) and 8 additional hrs in the second session. It didn't count the hrs from the ten week course in the second session.

see the photos in my gallery. The third one is what I got when I tried to add a PE after signing up for the courses shown in the first 2 pictures. The ENG101 course is 10 weeks.

When did Study Hall start becoming so hostile? If it works, congrats. If it doesn't, and you want to do it, see your advisor.

^^10-week classes count in SS2.

I talked to my advisor about this three weeks ago and posted what she told me.

[Edited on March 26, 2007 at 1:20 PM. Reason : ^who is being hostile?]

3/26/2007 1:20:03 PM

I was under the impression that it counted in ssII as well, and still am. Just saying that registration and records isn't counting it while you sign up for classes. Perhaps a mistake in the system, but it's letting it happen is all. And if it is a mistake perhaps someone should know, like firegrl23 who may actually read this.

I don't think anyone is being hostile. I was really just putting off studying and figured i'd sign up for classes I don't need to see what happens. Then I was just sharing what happened because it contradicted what most of us (including me) think the policy is.

3/26/2007 2:16:46 PM

ok this is what i think...someone tell me if i'm wrong

"10 week sessions count for first summer session, and not for the second summer session, BUT you can not sign up for a class in the second session that overlaps with the time of the 10 week course"
