Summer FAQ
How do I register for a summer course?
Lake Forest College students should use my.lakeforest. Registration for these terms will remain open until shortly before the start of the terms, and opens in early December.
Will any summer courses be taught in person?
Roughly 40% of our course offerings are in-person, whereas the remaining offerings are remote. Remote courses are indicated on the course schedule page in my.lakeforest with the designation "course taught remotely" and on the summer schedule page with the designation (RMT) after the course code. If there is no such designation. then the course will be taught in-person.
Can I hold a full-time job and complete a summer course simultaneously?
No. Because of the compressed schedule—a whole course in less than 4 weeks—the summer by itself requires full-time commitment of up to 50 hours per week. The total time you will spend on the course—both in and out of class, will be between 140 and 160 hours.
Can I switch from one Summer Term course to another after the term starts?
Yes, but note that the compressed schedule does not lend itself to “course shopping.” Each class period covers about a week’s worth of material, so if you discover on the first day that you want to switch to a different summer course, you should make every effort to be in the new course on the second day of the term.
Can I do the course Pass/No-Pass and does it count as one of my four Pass-No Pass courses?
Yes, you can take a course Pass-No Pass. Yes, it is included in your total of 4 Pass-No Pass credits.
Will my advisor be around in Summer to help me decide on course withdrawals or Pass-No Pass decisions?
Given that many advisors are away from the College in summer, your best contacts for such decisions are: Julia Berkowitz, Director of Academic Support Services (berkowitz@lakeforest.edu) or Associate Dean of the Faculty Matt Kelley (kelley@lakeforest.edu).
