UW–Madison Students

Design the summer that's right for you!

Taking Summer Term courses means you can get ahead in your studies and lighten your load during fall or spring. In just a few weeks, add a semester’s worth of work to your academic achievements—and still have time to savor the best of summer.

From the university’s most in-demand courses to advanced topics, Summer Term combines flexibility with academic rigor. Sessions are 3 weeks, 4 weeks, or 8 weeks long. You’ll cover the same material as you would during a traditional semester, but everything moves faster. It’s a quick but manageable pace.

Plus, it’s actually less expensive to complete your degree in four years with two Summer Terms rather than taking a fifth year. Check with your advisor for details.

Current degree-seeking undergraduates or graduate students can enroll for Summer Term through MyUW.

Tuition & Fees

Several support offices on campus can assist you with different aspects of your summer tuition and fees.

The Office of the Registrar posts the summer tuition and fee rates for all students. The Bursar’s Office provides the tuition bill as an electronic eBill. The Bursar’s Office sends an alert to students’ wisc.edu and to Authorized Payers’ email when a new eBill is available to view on the secure website. The Office of Student Financial Aid assists students in determining eligibility for grants and loans.
