High School Students

Rising juniors and seniors in high school can apply to take classes at UW–Madison during Summer Term, where they’ll earn college credit for face-to-face and online courses.

Students take courses with experienced college students and establish an official UW–Madison transcript. Summer Term courses are taught at an accelerated pace, so students should be ready to take responsibility for their academic plans and performance.

  • Face-to-face courses are offered on campus as commuter or residential programs. There is no housing available for minors on campus taking for-credit coursework, unless the student is part of a specialized residential program such as Imaging Self (see below).
  • Online courses are available to students who do not live in the Madison area or are unable to attend face-to-face courses. UW­–Madison offers over 300 online courses during Summer Term, so you can be a Badger from anywhere in the country or the world.
