Summer Courses for FYE Students

Almost all of the FYE courses are available for students to take in the summer; summer coursework can help students catch up, retake a course if needed, or may help students who enter FYE through the CODO process to move on to a professional school of engineering before the fall starts. Some sophomore level engineering courses are also typically available in the summer for students who want to get ahead.

Courses

The following FYE required courses are typically offered on the West Lafayette campus in the eight-week summer session (students should check MyPurdue for exact offerings each summer).

• CHM 11500 and CHM 11600

Calendar

The summer session at Purdue (West Lafayette) is divided into three four-week modules. Module 1, sometimes called "Maymester" typically runs from mid-May through early June. The combined modules 2 and 3, sometimes called "regular summer session" typically runs from mid June through early August. Exact dates for each year are available on the Registrar's website. The same amount of material is covered during a Maymester or regular summer session course as in a standard 16-week semester (though classes meet more often during the week, or for longer class periods).

Regional Campuses

Purdue-West Lafayette students may want to take summer courses at Purdue regional campuses closer to home. The following courses can meet FYE requirements and are typically offered at the regional campuses in summer — students should consult the respective regional campus website for exact schedules and offerings. Unlike other transfer courses, regional campus courses and most technical courses at IUPUI will appear on a student's Purdue-West Lafayette transcript with a grade. Students may need to contact the FYE Advising office in mid-July if a regional campus summer course is pre-requisite to a fall course at West Lafayette in order to receive the override to register for the fall course. If a regional campus summer course is the final course required to complete the FYE plan of study, the student should contact an FYE Advisor as soon as possible after the grade is posted to the Purdue transcript. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with an FYE Advisor prior to taking a Regional Campus course over the summer to ensure that the course will meet the student's educational goals and needs.
