The Summer and Winter Sessions


The Summer and Winter Sessions at IUP are designed to meet the needs of many students. Courses, workshops, and seminars are offered in the liberal arts, teacher education, and other fields of study.

Continuing university students, including newly admitted freshmen, who wish to accelerate their program of studies will find both Liberal Studies and special courses in all fields of study. Students from other colleges and universities may take courses at IUP; however, they are advised to first ensure that their home institution will transfer such credits earned at IUP.

Teachers-in-service will find courses in the summer program to serve a variety of needs. They may enroll to qualify for permanent certification, satisfy Act 48 requirements, take refresher courses in their field of specialization,  or take courses for the purpose of extending their certification to a new field.

The Summer Sessions schedule can be viewed at the website www.iup.edu/summer. The Winter Session schedule can be viewed at the website www.iup.edu/winter.

Attendance at Summer and Winter Sessions undergraduate courses is open to all students but does not constitute admission or readmission for continuing registration in the fall and/or spring semesters. IUP students with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA must receive approval from their dean’s office before attending Summer or Winter courses. Non-IUP students (graduate and undergraduate) can submit an electronic form that can be accessed at the website www.iup.edu/summer or www.iup.edu/winter. Students who desire readmission should apply to the Office of the Registrar at least one week before the start of the semester for which a student is applying.

There is a one-class limit for IUP students for Winter session unless permission is granted by the assistant/associate dean of the student’s college.
