Top reasons to take a Summer Session course
- Study with top-notch faculty in a robust virtual/in-person environment
- Fulfill requirements and lighten your course load
- Immerse yourself in a single subject
- Focus on a difficult course or requirement
- Enjoy the great Mudd education
- Earn college credit that may be transferable to another college program – Acceptance of transfer credit is always at the discretion of the accepting institution
College Credit
All courses earn HMC academic credit and, for HMC degree-seeking students, are applicable toward degree requirements. A degree-seeking college/university student may be registered for no more than two overlapping courses (six credits) at a given time.
We encourage prospective students, wishing to transfer summer session credits to their home institution, to confer with their advisor(s) to determine how the credits will fit in their degree.
All non-high school students may be registered for no more than two (2) overlapping courses at a given time and a maximum of three (3) total HMC Summer Session courses.
The maximum number of credits for which a high school student may register during the summer is six (6) or two (2) courses. Only one course may be taken at a given time.
All courses are transcripted using semester credit hours.
COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination
For in-person courses only: unless a student has received an approved exemption, all students attending in-person courses are required to submit proof of a complete COVID-19 vaccination series including a booster shot. Failure to upload your vaccination information will result in removal from in-person courses.
The College reserves the right to cancel a class at any time. In the event a class is canceled, students may have the option of selecting an alternate class or receiving a full refund.
