INTERNSHIPS, INDEPENDENT STUDY, RESEARCH
Internships, Independent Study, and Research opportunities offered on a “for-credit” basis are available in many academic departments each summer. Consult with the department of interest to determine your eligibility for this type of instruction. You may register this type of instruction (typically courses numbered between 500 and 599) by securing a request through the summer session home page. Finalize the details with the appropriate academic department and supervising faculty member, and return the completed request to Academic Records for processing no later than the final day of the drop-add period for the second session.

OTHER ITEMS TO CONSIDER
Course Load
Students may enroll for up to 12 credits during the summer session. However, we strongly encourage students to consult with their academic advisor if they are considering enrollment in more than two courses meeting during the same time period because of the very intense nature and short duration of summer session courses.
 
Pass-Fail
You may elect a pass-fail grading option for selected courses that you have already registered, consistent with the pass-fail policy as stated in the University Catalog.. Stop at Academic Records to learn more or complete a request. The final day for declaring courses pass/fail is the midpoint of each session.
 
PAC (Physical Activities Center)
The Herman W. Lay Physical Activities Center is open regular hours during both summer sessions. A valid student ID is required to use the facilities. Consult furmanfitness.com to find out more about what is happening at the PAC.
 
PARKING
Ample parking is available near classroom buildings and all over campus. Obtain a parking permit through the Student Business Center and comply with university traffic and parking regulations to ensure you don't get ticketed!
