Summer Programs
Summer Scholars for Dual Enrollment.
Summer 2026 Dual Enrollment offers a focused set of online, asynchronous courses—meaning students don’t have a required live class meeting at a specific time. Instead students log in to the course site and complete work on their own sechedule within set weekly (or module) deadlines. Students may be required to watch recorded lectures, do readings, particpate in discussion boards, and submit assignments by due dates. Communication with the instruction mainly through messages, announcemnets, and psoted feedback. The key is a more flexible style of learning, but you need strong time management to succeed.
