As many students are still unable to travel due to COVID-19, all Brandeis Summer School classes will be offered online in summer 2021. There are two models of instruction: 5-week synchronous “remote learning” and 10-week asynchronous online courses. Learn more about these two models of online classes.
Summer courses are once again expected to be very popular this summer. Last summer most of our online classes filled to capacity rapidly. Students are advised to select their courses and enroll in Sage as soon as they are able to. In advance of registration opening, we suggest Brandeis students check their Sage accounts and make sure there are no holds that could prevent or delay enrollment as most courses have limited enrollment capacity.
There's an additional step to enrolling in summer courses in Sage. Brandeis students must first activate their student record for Summer Term in Sage before they can enroll in summer. To do this you will need to select “Summer School Term Activation” in the Sage Student Center. This can be seen in steps 2 and 3 of the detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to register for Summer School in Sage. This step will tell Sage that you want your student record to be active for Summer Term. If you have issues, please contact the Summer School.
In the summer, instructors do not issue enrollment consent codes.
If you are enrolling in an upper-level Economics course this summer (ECON 26B, ECON 80A, ECON 82B, ECON 83A, ECON 171A or ECON 181A), please contact Leslie Yancich, the ECON Department administrator, for a code. She will verify that you have completed course prerequisites to enroll.
If you are enrolling in INT 92G, you will first need to complete the INT 92g enrollment process before you can enroll in Sage. You will receive your Sage enrollment code once your summer internship has been approved.
The Summer School does not use consent codes for dropping a course or require an instructor’s signature for a drop form. Only INT 92G uses consent codes to drop because special visa status issues may be involved for international students.
After Sage Self-Service has closed, to drop a course you need to send an email from your Brandeis email address to summerschool@brandeis.edu. Include your name and the course you wish to drop. Please refer to the Summer School Calendar to identify the deadline for dropping a course in a given session and review the refund schedule.
Summer School classes are treated the same as classes in the fall or the spring. This means that a summer school class counts toward your GPA, as credits toward graduation, and help you to fulfill major, minor and graduation requirements.
Classes taken at other schools during the summer generally only count for purpose — meaning they can help you fulfill a prerequisite, but will not count in your GPA or toward credits for graduation. (Special conditions may apply for Brandeis transfer students — transfer students should consult the Brandeis Bulletin.)
Summer School is a self-supporting program, so all courses must meet a minimum enrollment of 5 students to be given. Often students wait until the deadline to enroll in summer courses, so decisions regarding course cancellation are made a week prior to the date a class is slated to begin. Students who have enrolled in courses that are canceled due to low enrollment may enroll in another open course or receive a full tuition and fee adjustment.
You are encouraged to register as soon as you are able as many classes have enrollment limits and will fill up quickly. Regular Self-Service Registration in Sage ends at midnight May 21, 2021 for Session 1 and O, and June 25, 2021 for Session 2.
