Want to get a jump-start on your college courses? During both summer sessions, the University of Portland offers introductory-level courses for incoming first-year students. Many of these courses fulfill University core requirements.
To qualify for summer admission, incoming first-year students need to be accepted to the University. Incoming first-year students registering for summer must register as "non-matriculating" students and maintain their admission date in the fall so as not to jeopardize their financial aid. Most types of financial aid cannot be applied to summer school. However, summer tuition is discounted in comparison to tuition during the academic year.
Math On-Ramp: The transition from high school math to college math is one of the most challenging aspects of starting college. The Math On-Ramp program supports new UP students in making this transition. Once you’ve completed the Math Placement Exam process, you’ll get information inviting you to participate in the free, online program designed to help you strengthen your math before starting at UP.
Students admitted to the Shiley School of Engineering should contact Dr. Shaz Vijlee, Faculty Fellow for Recruitment and Retention, (vijlee@up.edu) to learn more about summer opportunities.
