University of California, Irvine's Mission Statement: Summer Session at UC Irvine provides administration of university-level
undergraduate courses during two 5-week sessions and one 10-week
session beginning in late June. Through open enrollment, we serve
current UC Irvine students, visiting UC and other U.S. college
students, international students, professionals and community
members, and high school students who have completed their junior
year. Summer Session makes it possible for students to make
progress toward their degrees all year round, often making the
difference for students who want to graduate on time. We offer an
extensive selection of courses and students can choose from breadth
requirements, coursework required for their major, or take courses
to complete a minor. We act as an integral part of the Continuing
Education branch of the university, supporting new program
development and initiatives that serve the broad levels of the
University.
