<p>I'm in engineering major, and I'm planning to take summer classes to clear up all of my electives (GOV, social science, etc). But I know absolutely nothing about summer classes, except that it can be taken either at UT or at a community college like ACC... Can someone describe the system/how it works (maximum class/credit, courses available, UT or ACC, opinions and suggestions, duration, etc)?</p>
<p>ut classes in the summer are monday-friday typically and it’s going to be more intense than the fall because its like a whole regular semester reduced to five weeks but the professors usually adjust the workload.</p>
<p>i liked summer school at ut. i think im going to do it every summer.</p>
<p>How about taking electives in community college like Austin CC?</p>
<p>eclipze, sometimes doing that at ACC could be easier, sometimes, they are harder. Ask around for the professor you might take.</p>
<p>Stay far away from UT summer school unless you like burning money.</p>
<p>No reason to take BS electives at UT. It’s not like you have a more educational experience just because you’re paying $1,400 per class for a TA you can’t understand. 
Summer courses at UT are easily the least cost effective way of getting credits. If you want to glorify UT summer life, understand that campus is absolutely dead during the summer.</p>
<p>Take ACC courses when you can, and even online courses at colleges across Texas. I took Calculus II online here: [Western</a> Texas College Home](<a href=“http://www.wtc.edu/]Western”>http://www.wtc.edu/).</p>
<p>Who should I talk to if I want to take summer courses at ACC? I’m totally blank. I don’t know anything about it -_-</p>
<p>What about genetics?!</p>

<p>Talk to ACC. [Austin</a> Community College - Start Here. Get There.](<a href=“http://www.austincc.edu/]Austin”>http://www.austincc.edu/)</p>
<p>They have different campuses, but their Rio Grande campus is probably most convenient for you. Look at their course catalog to get an idea of what you want, then just visit them and talk to an advisor. Their advisors are there to let you know what you need to do.</p>
<p>Summer school at UT counts toward your your GPA while you only get credit for community college…so if u think u can get an A, take it at UT</p>
<p>If you think you can get an A and money is no object.</p>
<p>^ yeah sorry…that too lol</p>
<p>LoL I’m going to ACC for history classes so I’m taking it there =D. By the way, it is possible to both enroll at ACC Summer and UT Summer right (as long your schedule works)? One more question: when should I start applying for summer school at ACC/UT?</p>
<p>that is easy… whenever the system at acc or utexas opens for enrollment</p>
<p>Yes, some people take summer classes in both places at once.</p>
<p>If need a social science credit, forget summer school: CLEP sociology.</p>
<p>Aggie in the T.U. section, but I would definitely recommend taking summer classes at ACC. This past summer I took two classes both back to back 5.5 week sessions with the classes being English 1301 and History 1301 and that transfered to whatever the equivalent is at T.U. I know at A&M is was ENGL 104 and HIST 105. </p>
<p>The best part about taking summer classes at ACC is the ease especially during the 5.5 week sessions. I did it twice a week at night for 4 hours a class, which was very brutal depending on the teacher (a breeze for English, and a nightmare for History). The professors at ACC realized it was only a 5.5 week session and therefore went a lot easier on us I think. For example, in history instead of having to read outside books and write essays and stuff, it was read these chapters in the book and we will take a multiple choice test over it. I never even read the textbook because the night before the prof would just tell us what would be on the test and I would study that. No final or anything as well.</p>
<p>Enrolling at ACC was a bit more of a pain than I think it needed to be. I’m not sure if everyone does but I know I had to speak with an advisor as oppose to me just being able to apply and be good at BLINN.</p>
