<p>How many courses do most students take during summer school?
I'm planning to take A100 during the summer. I want to knock out the pre-I-core.
Should I take another class during the summer along with A100?
Also, when do I start applying for summer school?
How much does it cost for summer school? (class and dorm)</p>
<p>Here is the cost of last summer’s housing and meal plan. 2012 summer costs are not out yet.</p>
<p>[IU:RPS</a> - Costs](<a href=“http://www.rps.indiana.edu/costs.cfml?page=summerrates]IU:RPS”>http://www.rps.indiana.edu/costs.cfml?page=summerrates)</p>
<p>Six credits is a full load during a six-weeks summer session. There are two summer sessions of six weeks each.</p>
<p>I would not take more than 4 credits in a single six weeks session, if one of those classes is A100. Otherwise, take six credits.</p>
<p>Also, A100 is offered at IUPUI in the summer. Meets only once a week for for six weeks, 2.5 hours a day, and is much easier than A100 at IUB.</p>
<p>can you please elaborate on the summer 1 session and summer 2 session?</p>
<p>Also, is there a cost for the class itself?</p>
<p>The first summer session begins the week after Spring Semester finals week and runs for 6 weeks. The second summer session begins in mid-June and runs through early August for 8 weeks (not six). Typically there are a few “intensive” sessions of shorter duration. There are a very limited number of classes available as intensive sessions so I wouldn’t even think about it. </p>
<p>One could complete an entire semester during the summer by taking 2 courses during the 6 week session and 3 during the 8 week session. I would not recommend this having done it many, many years ago. I also took a summer graduate level class recently. This class actually was different as it lasted the entire summer. There was no way it could be done in 6 or 8 weeks given some of the projects that required “waiting” time. Even with the entire summer, it was a challenging class. Be prepared to work hard for a short amount of time. </p>
<p>Yes, one must pay for the courses and fees as usual. I believe in the summer IU charges by the credit hour rather than the flat fee for a certain number of hours. Again, I’m not certain about this as my D only took one class last summer. The costs from 2011 are available by searching the IUB website.</p>
<p>Would you recommend me taking A100 over the summer? I’m worried I’m not able to keep up with course material with that short time.</p>
<p>rrah, IU has a lot of different lengths for summer sessions, but nearly all the Kelley classes are SS1 and SSII, which are six weeks each. A big exception is A329, which can be done in less than three weeks in the first intensive summer session each summer. Here is a chart showing all the different summer sessions. I did not realize they had two eight week summer sessions, and that they overlap.

<p>vietxpham, you have to take A100 sometime. Maybe you could study for it over Christmas break, then take it in summer session one. I don’t know how it could be easier to take than in summer, especially if you only took it and no other class. In fall and spring, A100 meets eight weeks; in summer, it meets six weeks, but with taking no other classes, you should have more than enough time to do well in A100.</p>
