| Summer Session Courses Online, Including Signature Courses | Just like last summer, undergraduate classes that are offered during Summer Session 2021 will be taught online. The University is once again offering Signature courses to undergraduates on a variety of topics, including some of the most popular Signature courses from J-Term. As these are finalized, the Summer Session I Signature Course listing website (and SIS) will be updated.
Graduate and professional school students will hear more information from their schools about options available to them. |

| Important Summer Session Dates for Undergraduates | The Summer Session schedule of classes will be available in SIS on March 26. To view a preliminary list of Summer 2021 courses, you can visit the Summer Session website.

| Summer Grading | The 2020-21 academic year option to take classes CR/GC/NC will be available to undergraduate students in Summer Session classes. For help on deciding which option might work best for you, the University has compiled these Advising Principles. Whether they choose Graded (A-F grades) or “COVID Credit/GenCredit/NoCre” when they enroll, students can change their grading option through the first day of their class by using Edit Enrollment in SIS. Students who wish to change their grading option after day one of their class may do so through the mid-point of their class by completing the form on the Summer Session website.
Graduate programs that offered the CR/GC/NC option in the Fall, Spring, and J-Term, will do so again in the Summer Session, using the same criteria. |

| Summer Session Facilities and Services | All IM-Rec facilities, with the exception of the AFC (which is undergoing a major renovation), will be open during the Summer Session. Hours vary by location, so visit the IM-Rec website for more information.
UVA Dining will adjust service levels for a smaller on-Grounds population. Operating hours and locations will be posted on the UVA Dine website. |
|
| Summer Orientation for New Students | | Orientation for new incoming first-year and transfer students will be conducted virtually beginning in July. A primary focus will be course advising and registration. Additionally, virtual events and activities will take place over the summer to connect new students with their peers and orientation leaders, begin to build community, and provide information on what to expect as they start at UVA in the Fall. Entering students should check their UVA email for more specific details coming from their school of enrollment in late June. |
|
| Summer Camps and Programs | | Due to public health concerns, residential programs this summer will be limited to UVA-sponsored programs whose participants are UVA students, faculty, and staff. We will maintain our established screening, testing, isolation/quarantine protocols during the summer, along with other health and safety protocols. University officials are assessing whether we may be able to safely offer some day camps this summer and will have further information by April 15. |
