Many summer courses are offered during the shorter four-and-a-half-week a and b terms. View the Time Schedule to check specific schedule information for each class.

Please note that many special topics courses are offered during the summer. Because these courses are often one-time offerings, you may not find a complete description of the Summer Quarter offering on the UW Time Schedule. To learn more about a specific special topics course, please contact the individual department offering that course (view list of departmental contact information). Read about some of these special courses on the Unique Summer Courses page.

Some courses may require prerequisite coursework (denoted by a "P" in the Time Schedule). Summer-only students should contact the department in question directly before registering to ensure they have completed the adequate prerequisites.
