Summer sessions run from May to August each year. There will be different deadlines for each session offered. See this page for a list of deadlines.

Continuing students can enroll, drop, or adjust their Fall听schedules up until mid June (exact deadline is in the academic calendar), so please do not delay!
If you are worried about picking the correct courses, use your degree audit on Buff Portal to search for classes that cover your requirements.
You will also be able to adjust your schedule during certain times in August.

Start by running a degree audit to see what remaining requirements you have for GenEd, your major, etc. Review the on the Education Abroad website, filtering to your program, then check to see if any courses have already been approved to cover those specific requirements.
If there are courses being offered by your study abroad program that are not on the pre-approved list, you can have courses evaluated (please note this process can take 3-5 weeks). Please review the information available on the .

Please read carefully through the notes about your hold on Buff Portal. It should let you know what the hold is for, and which department or unit put the hold on your account; they are the only ones that can lift it.
- For example, if the hold is from the Bursar鈥檚 Office, then most likely you need to pay an overdue bill and can contact them with questions.
Most likely you will not see an advising hold, but if you do have one and it is preventing you from enrolling, please contact one of the advisors.
General note: New incoming transfer and first-year students may see holds related to requirements addressed in the New Student Welcome online experience. Most likely any hold will be put on later in the summer, but if you go through the online experience and complete all of the required tasks now, this will decrease your chance of a hold later.
