Summer and Winter Schools

EUCON International University Graduate School offers Summer School and Winter School Programs for students who desire to accelerate their academic programs. Summer School begins at the close of each academic year and finishes
by late August. Winter School begins at the end of December and finishes before the second semester begins. The University reserves the right to cancel any course having fewer than three students officially registered.

Courses are taught by both resident faculty and adjunct professors during the summer and winter sessions. A full-time load of coursework for summer and winter school students is considered to be 9 credit hours over any combination of sessions. No student may register for more than three courses during the same session without prior permission.

The normal load for a full-time student is 12 -15 credit hours per semester. The minimum full-time load is 9 semester hours. Any student who desires to take more than normal load needs to meet with an advisor who will deny or
