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 Workday as soon as they are able to. In advance of registration opening, we suggest Brandeis students check their student accounts in Workday and make sure there are no holds that could prevent or delay enrollment as most courses have limited enrollment capacity.
Brandeis students will find their courses and register online in Workday. Helpful Step-by-Step Job Aids and Video Tutorials are available at: https://www.brandeis.edu/workday/student/resources/job-aids/students.html
These resources help students to navigate Workday and performs many common tasks such as:
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 151A, ECON 171A or ECON 181A), these courses are set-up to automatically default to enrollment on the Waitlist. The ECON Dept. will then review your student record to make sure you have completed the course prerequisites and will complete your enrollment.
If you are enrolling in INT 92G, you will first need to complete the INT 92g enrollment process before you can enroll in Workday. Your enrollment will also default automatically to the Waitlist and your enrollment will only be complete once your Internship has been approved.
Before courses begin, students will be able to drop their summer enrollments in Workday. A guide to dropping and swapping courses in Workday can be found here: Drop or Swap a Course
After courses begin, please send an email from your Brandeis email address to summerschool@brandeis.edu. Include your name and the course you wish to drop.
PLEASE NOTE: The summer term has a date-driven refund schedule. 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 courses typically need 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.
As many courses have enrollment limits, you are encouraged to register as soon as you are able so you are not closed out of a class you want to take. Many summer classes fill up quickly and run wait lists.
