<p>Is your daughter participating in the summer sessions?</p>

3

<p>I don't think so. Not this year anyway. Maybe another summer though.</p>

4

<p>Oh, okay. I didn't think so.</p>

5

<p>Some students are only admitted contigent upon completion of summer school.</p>

<p>I've heard it's a great way to start college off. You only take 9 hours I think, and you can get adjusted to college life a little easier. Plus then most people only need to take 12 hours during the year and they are still 3 hours ahead. AND you get to spend summer in Austin!</p>

<p>The only negative is having to pay for it...otherwise I think I'd jump on this in a heartbeat and get all of my core courses out of the way so I can take whatever I want later on.</p>

6

<p>^ I was also going to do the same, but the monetary factor also limited me. Also, I would like to spend a bit more time with my family and friends before I move across the country :).</p>

7

<p>When do they accept summer transients?</p>

8

<p>when i talked to the program coordinator for plan II, she recommended that we just chill during the summer. :P</p>

9

<p>Last summer, my son was envious of his friends who had to go to summer school;) He ended up driving up about every other week for events, it would have been easier to just be there!!</p>

10

<p>if u get admitted into the summer do u have to do both sessions or can u do just one. because my school doesnt get out til the middle of june and sesh 1 starts the first week of june.
???????</p>

<p>Summer admit for freshman is not in two sessions. It is like an abreviated full semester that lasts most of the summer.</p>

12

<p>how much is the summer session? Of course, I would check myself, but the "summer tuition rates" website isn't working for me- it keeps freezing.</p>

13

<p>Yes there are certain courses which are open to summer freshmen (mostly area requirement courses).</p>

<p>The session lasts 10 weeks, from June 18 to August 18.</p>

14

<p>The ironic thing is that some classes are especially reserved for incoming freshman ... that means that upperclassmen may not have a chance to get in those classes :-(</p>

15

<p>What is the purpose of the summer session, I was also recently admitted to this program?</p>

16

<p>The purpose is to allow more people to get in. I don't know what the reason is, but summer allows them to admit many more Texas students than could be admitted under only a fall admission program.</p>

<p>Basically you take 3 classes and get adjusted to college life. It's not supposed to be hard at all from everything I hear.</p>

<p>I think the stated purpose is to give borderline applicants a chance to prove themselves, but the real purpose is to admit qualified kids who can't be admitted because of the top ten law.</p>

<p>Thanx loneranger, I just got the brochure in the mail today!</p>

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I am currently a Freshman at the University of Houston, and would really like to take a couple of class this summer at UT Austin. How do I go about applying for such? The website seemed to only apply to current students who want to take summer classes. Do they have people take classes during the summer and live on campus even if they are students at another college? Do I fill out some application? I want to transfer to UT Austin after my sophomore year at UH, and I figure this is a great way for me to get used to Austin, the campus, the school in general, and help me when I want to transfer. Does anyone have any advice or a reference that I could talk to? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!</p>

<p>You want what is called
"Temporary summer enrollment for transient students"</p>

<p>This explains how it works:
Transients</a> | Transients | Be a Longhorn</p>

<p>Thank you! I just downloaded the application! Do you know about how much it costs? I want to go and take 2 classes and live in a dorm, but I couldn't find an estimate for price...Some people mentioned that price kept them from doing it, so I'm concerned about that.</p>
