Who Can Register The following categories of students are eligible for admission to the Summer School:  Registered students of the University who have to repeat any of the course(s) offered.  Registered students of the University who have not taken the course(s) previously, but fall into one of the following categories: Students of the University who have not yet completed the requirements for the degree programme for which they are registered.  Registered UWI students from other UWI campuses.  Students of the University who have been granted (a) Leave of Absence for Semester I and/or 2, or (b) permission to Write “Examinations Only”.  Individuals who are not students of the University, but are eligible to matriculate at either the Normal or Lower level or as a mature student.

Hmmm, Why Summer School?

Summer School can: help you meet the graduation requirements for 2014. help you advance to the next level in the programme of your choice. help you to complete your degree requirements in less time. help students who required to withdraw to redeem themselves. help students from other colleges or universities who are currently paying a little too much for tuition fees to sit courses at a more affordable cost.

 Summer School is optional.  Each Department reserves the right to withdraw a course if the quota for the course is not met.  Summer Course Load: Students can register for a maximum of TWELVE (12) credits; e.g. four out-of-faculty courses (3 credits each), two in-faculty 6-credit courses, or three 4-credit courses. Finalizing students may apply to the Associate Dean for special permission to exceed credit limit.  There is NO deregistration; consequently, if you add a course and you do not drop it by the stipulated deadline, the course will remain on your record and you will:  be charged for the course  receive a grade of FA  If you do not register for a course by the stipulated deadline you will not be allowed to sit the exam for that course (see Summer School Coordinator). This includes students given permission to sit courses as exams-only.  It is the sole responsibility of the students to ensure that their registration is completed.

  

M11= Full Course MLX = Lab Exemption MEX = Exam Only

(Students should check with their respective Departments to find out which category they are qualified for before registering). TIMETABLE - Students, who are pursuing more than one course, should choose carefully and register for only one course in any one time slot.
