Summer online Orientation Course

Detailed summer reading and reflection assignments are explained within Part 1, Getting Started of the online Orientation Course. The student needs to meet all deadlines, complete assignments, and be engaged throughout the summer to receive 1 unit of academic credit, and to pass the course. The class and the final grade will appear on students' official UC Santa Cruz transcript. Students are automatically enrolled in the course, and participation is required.

See the Orientation Course for Credit page for more details.

The mandatory Orientation Course is different than the students who choose to start early and take additional classes through the Summer Edge program.
