With more virtual and hybrid classes, new courses and expanded support, UC Davis 2025 Summer Sessions helps students graduate early, stay on track and get ahead.
“There truly is something for everyone at Summer Sessions, whether you need to focus on that one tough chemistry class, learn a new language or complete a minor,” said Omega Lee, Summer Sessions executive director. “It’s possible to make that happen at UC Davis,”
Summer Sessions is hosting a Summer Resource Fair next week to let students know the academic and personal resources that they can access from June through September.
Omega Lee, executive director of Summer Sessions, said the fair aims to highlight the ways that students can stay involved on campus throughout the summer.
UC Davis undergraduates spoke and Summer Sessions listened. More than 2,000 students responded to questions about desired summer courses, their motivation for taking summer courses and preferences for online, in-person or hybrid courses. This was in response to a wish list survey sent earlier this year.
"We value students’ voices," said Omega Lee, Summer Sessions executive director. "That's why we created the wish list — to pinpoint the summer courses they need, helping them stay on track and get ahead."
UC Davis 2024 Summer Sessions opened June 24 with more flexibility for students than ever — including a record 44 online courses. Four virtual General Education courses in psychology and communication also debuted.
As many of you know summer sessions will be hosting many events at the Writing Center this summer. But did you know they also provide free writing consultations and workshops?
