Summer

Math’s up!

On campus

UCSC summer programs are a great way to jump start your academic progress. To make the most of your summer opportunities, complete your initial placement assessment as soon as possible. You can reassess up to four times, using ALEKS to improve your mastery of the material between assessments, so don't wait to get started!

Summer Orientation is the beginning of your new life in the UCSC community. Posting dates for placement assessment scores for enrollment in fall term math courses during Summer Orientation will be available soon. 

College algebra, precalculus, and calculus are all taught during Summer Session, as well as during the academic year.
