Unlock Your Summer: Flexible Courses to Power Your Progress Toward Degree Completion
As you look ahead to the summer months, we want to ensure you have every tool available to reach your academic goals. Caldwell University’s Summer Session is designed with your success in mind.
Benefits of Summer Session
Maximum Flexibility – Our fully online courses allow you to learn on your own time. With course lengths ranging from 4 to 8 weeks, you can easily fit your studies around work, family, or travel.
Improve GPA – Unlike transfer credits from other institutions, courses taken in the Caldwell Summer Session appear directly on your official transcript. This makes summer the perfect time for grade replacement if you need to meet program requirements or return to good academic standing.
Stay on Track (or Get Ahead) – We offer courses during the summer that may not be available on campus during the regular year. Taking credits now means a more manageable schedule in the fall.
Financial Aid – The Financial Aid Office is available to assist you with utilizing Summer Pell Grant funds, if eligible. Please contact our team by email at [email protected] or by phone at 973-618-3221 to learn more about this financial resource.
