Summer Registration

SUMMER REGISTRATION

Unlike fall and spring registration, which is required, summer registration is optional unless a student is in their first semester at Mines OR in a category that requires registration, described below.

STUDENTS STARTING IN A SUMMER TERM

• All students who start at Mines in a summer term must register for at least one credit.

• Domestic students may only need to register for one credit unless they are on a summer graduate contract requiring more (see below).

• International students typically start their degree program in Fall or Spring semesters, but may contact ISSS to determine if they are eligible for summer start. If so, their required registration will be 3 credits, consistent with the academic definition of full-time status in Summer described above. 

STUDENTS on a SUMMER RA CONTRACT

Must register for 3 credits of research (707) in Summer if on a 0.5 FTE contract. Must register for 1.5 credits of research (707) in Summer if on a 1.0 FTE contract. In many cases, the OGS Summer Research Tuition Fellowship may apply.

STUDENTS on a SUMMER TA or HOURLY CONTRACT

Do not need to register for summer, unless using campus resources in the summer* or working on thesis research (registration in at least 1 research credit is required).

STUDENTS NOT on a SUMMER RA CONTRACT & NOT GRADUATING (see below for details)

Do not need to register for summer, unless using campus resources in the summer* or working on thesis research (registration in at least 1 research credit is required).
