<p>anyone doing UCI summer session?</p>
<p>According to UC Irvine’s statistics, over half of the undergrads took summer courses at one time or another. I took one last summer.</p>
<p>I may do summer session just NOT at UCI, prices are a little ridiculous and I could get 1 GE done at CC for far less of the price.</p>
<p>Maybe for upper division I will… but like to just take math or something, F that… I can take that at Orange community college</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I have to agree that the prices, relative to regular quarters, for summer sessions seems a bit expensive. For a 4 unit course, I had to pay $800 not to mention room and board during the summer (you can no longer live in Mesa Court and Middle Earth after your freshmen spring quarter). </p>
<p>The only reason why I took that one course during the summer was to avoid a “bottleneck” during the next academic year as that one course prevented me from taking several courses required for my majors.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken o-chem over the summer? do you recommend it? It will be my first time taking it, and I keep hearing mixed responses from people.</p>
<p>If you want to get rid of GEs, I recommend to take those at local community colleges where it’s much more affordable. However, the GPA doesn’t count. Only the credit is transferrable.</p>
<p>So if I get a C on a GE course at a community college, it won’t show up as a C on my UCI transcript/GPA?</p>
<p>Or see if your school allows you to knock off some lower division requirements for the major at a CC. Some might see taking GE’s at UCI to boost GPA a valid idea.</p>
<p>If you get a C on a GE at a CC, you will get transfer credit, but it will not count towards your UCI GPA. However, I believe the grade still SHOWS on your transcript.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in grad school, try your best even in GE courses at CC’s.</p>
<p>UCI Summer Session unit fees for UCI and UC students are the same in the summer as they are during fall, winter, and spring. If you take a regular course load during the year and determine the cost per unit, the per unit fee will be the same for summer courses.</p>
