For all single or non-sequential enrollments (including two enrollments in different courses), the recommended start-end dates for Summer 2021 are June 14 – August 20.
Note: If you are enrolling to take two sequential segments
- Semester A: June 14 – July 16, 2021
- Semester B: July 19 – August 20, 2021
NSO’s term start and end dates are flexible, so you can work within your own school’s term schedule. You can finish a course before the end date you requested. Please understand that the teachers’ end-of-year workload is very heavy, so it is not possible to start earlier than the Summer Sem A start date for most courses.
Courses may be taken for quarter, semester, or trimester credit, as indicated on the enrollment request form.
