Students may receive credit for substantive learning gained through summer work. Students considering summer work experience should contact the dean`s office no later than the last day of classes during the spring term. A contract must be filed at that time and the approval of the department chairperson also must be obtained. Credit usually is not given for activities that are considered extracurricular during the academic year. Only 25 percent of the 120 credits required for graduation may be taken in fieldwork and independent study, which includes summer work experience.
