About Summer Session

The University of Virginia offers courses to over 3000 students during Summer Session. The program complements courses offered during the academic year, facilitating the fulfillment of degree requirements and fostering the exploration of other topics and courses of interest. Summer Session supports current UVA students and also extends the University of Virginia’s resources to students enrolled at other colleges or universities, rising high school juniors and seniors, and lifelong learners.

The application process for summer study abroad programs is managed by the International Studies Office (ISO). Application deadlines vary by program. Interested students must complete the online Education Abroad Workshop before initiating the application process.

Summer Session is funded through the Office of the Vice President and Provost and is coordinated with the assistance of Summer Chairs appointed across UVA.
