SwesitS ms .'out ths sominroer over -bosks m if By JOEY HILL Staff Writer Many UNC students will spend their summer vacations going to school. Some go to UNC Summer School, while others leave to study elsewhere. According to James Murphy, Summer School dean, between 8,500 and 9,000 students attended UNC Summer School last year. These included both UNC students and students from other universities. UNC Summer School consists of two regular sessions and several special sessions, Murphy said. Re gistration day for the first session is May 22; classes begin May 23 and end June 27. Second session regis tration day is June 29, and classes begin June 30 and end August 4. The special sessions begin at various times during the summer. "Summer School is just another term." Murphy said. Students who attend Summer School will be offered courses in almost all areas. There will be 900 sections of regular classes, in addition to several special courses. These include a law school session, study abroad programs and pro grams for math and science teachers. Cheryl Mitchell, director of Summer School admissions, said students may preregister for summer classes when they preregister for the Tail semester. Students who wish to preregister for summer may do so until April 26, she said. The Summer School application contains prereg istration information. According to Murphy, tuition for in-state students taking one to five credit hours in summer school is $ 1 57. It increases to $220 for in-state students who take six to eight hours. Out-of-state students can expect to pay $651 for one to five hours, or $1,208 for six to eight hours. In-state graduate tuition is $220, and the rate for out-of-state graduate students is $1,209. Eleanor Morris, director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid, said financial assistance is available to summer school students. Aid is based on need and is usually given in loan form. Morris said that her office receives from 900 to 1,000 applications for aid each summer, and that between 700 and 800 students actually receive assistance. Although the preferred date for submission of aid applications was March 1, the office will continue to accept applications "until there is no more time or money," Morris said. "We really worry about the student who doesn't have to go to summer school, but who wants to stay around," Morris said. Students who accept loans during the summer often hurt their financial condition, she explained. In addition to increasing their debts, they are unable to work during the summer months to save for the upcoming fall and spring terms. According to Jan Weaver, an administrative assistant in the Department of University Housing, at least three residence halls will be open to summer school students. Manly will be open to women, and men may live in Grimes. Cobb, the only summer residence hall that has air conditioning, will be coed. Lewis Residence Hall will open for both men and women if there is adequate demand for on-campus housing, Weaver said. Students who live in Cobb this summer will be required to purchase a meal plan, Weaver said. Only students who must live in Cobb because they need air conditioning for medical reasons will be exempted from purchasing the meal plan. Grimes and Manly residents will not be required to purchase a summer meal plan. For the second consecutive year, UNC Summer School students will be able to participate in the Focus program, Murphy said. This program offers several courses which place special emphasis on the use of computers in education. Students need only to register for one of these courses to take part in the program. According to Sylvia Perry, a UNC admissions representative, approxi mately 2,000 UNC students choose to attend summer school at other universities. Most of these are four year institutions. Anthony Strickland, an associate director in the Office of Undergrad uate Admissions, said students who wish to attend another university's summer school should first obtain a course approval form from his office. "This is to guarantee that if students make a C or better, they will receive credit for a UNC course," he said. Ten to 15 percent of Wake Forest """" ' --- University's summer school students are visitors, said Lu Leake, dean of Wake Forest's summer school. "We require that a visiting student receive university approval (from his or her own university) and that he or she be in good standing," she said. Like UNC Summer School, Wake Forest summer school consists oTtwo sessions of five and one-half weeks each, beginning May 24 and July 3. "We request students to sign up ahead of time, but we will accept latecomers," Leake said. Leake advises students to contact her office by May 1 for information. Wake Forest offers "a fair number" of lower-level courses which can be used to fulfill graduation require ments, Leake said. There are also some upper-level courses available. Tuition for Wake Forest summer school is $100 per credit hour, and room rent is $200 per session. Students who are in good academic standing at an accredited college may also attend summer school at Duke University. "We have a whole range of courses," said Stephen LeMoine, assistant director of Duke Summer Sessions. The selection for visiting students includes 20 programs for studying abroad. Charles VanSant, Residential Pro gram coordinator at Duke, said residential life is beneficial to students at Duke summer school. "We are good at making the residential experience a complement to the academic experience," he said. Tuition for Duke Summer Sessions is $307 per semester hour, and rent for a double room is $337 per term. LeMoine said financial aid is avail able for students who regularly attend Duke, and that visiting students hould contact their regular univer sity's financial aid office for distance. Students who are interested in attending Duke Summer Sessions nay call or write to Duke's Office jf Student Services. The first session begins May 18, and students may egister until May 10. The second session begins July 5, and the reg istration deadline is June 26. N.C. State University's first summer session begins May 23, and the second begins July 5. "Every thing" is offered, said Jane McKim mon of the Department of Lifelong Education. In-state tuition at NCSU for students taking one to five credit hours is $133, and tuition for in-state students taking six to eight hours is $196. Rent for a double room is $165 per five-week session. Interested students should contact the Department of Lifelong Educa tion at NCSU for information. Summer school at Appalachian State University offers graduate and undergraduate classes, said Reta Greene of ASU's office of summer sessions. The first session begins May 29, and the second begins July 10. In-state tuition is $40 per semester hour, and out-of-state tuition is $155 per hour. Room rent is $304 per term, which includes a $ 1 25 meal plan. Greene said there are two types of financial aid available to ASU summer school students. Students may receive long-term, low-interest loans, and some receive scholarships. Many work on campus to finance their term at ASU. Registration for the first ASU Summer Session is due on the first' day of classes. Greene suggests that students contact her office for more information. r r Z0 "5 IT.
