Application Information for all non-degree summer programs

Applying through SOPHAS

Please review your programs requirement carefully before proceeding with the application.

All non-degree applicants must apply for the Summer Session via SOPHAS. The deadline to complete and submit the application is February 1, 2013.

Non-degree students are not expected to enter their grades in SOPHAS and in some cases are not required to submit letters of recommendation or transcripts. The TAF – Transcript Abbreviation Form explains how to bypass entry of grades into SOPHAS and how to waive letters of recommendation.

Please note that incomplete applications will not be reviewed

There is a $120 application fee that you will need to pay to SOPHAS directly through your application. Once you have paid and completed all requirements, your application will be sent to us for review and you will be notified of the outcome by the end of March.

For questions regarding this process, please contact:
