##### **Registration FAQs**

## 

- ## Enrollment Limits & Simultaneous Enrollment

  ### Enrollment Limits

  Summer Session and September Term courses are on an intensive schedule: two Summer Quarter courses are the equivalent of a full-time course load. While it is not recommended, students can take up to five total courses in the summer, as long as they are not enrolled in more than two courses during the same dates. Summer Language Institute courses are 300 units. They are therefore considered full-time by themselves. For assistance in enrolling in a 5th course please email [summersession@uchicago.edu](/undergraduates/undergrad-student-registration/current-uchicago-students/summersession@uchicago.edu/).

  ### Simultaneous Enrollments

  Ordinarily, students may not enroll in courses whose class time overlaps given the expectation that all students attend courses for which they receive credit. However, simultaneous enrollment may be permitted in remotely taught courses with the permission of both instructors and the approval of the Summer Session office. Please find directions and a survey to submit a request at [2026 Undergraduate Simultaneous Enrollment Request](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAhLgNhpFBrijScC0ZivhoK7XVdO8hZI4cDmOBQGCRXACEVw/viewform?usp=header).

  Please note: \
  - Incomplete or inaccurate submissions won't be accommodated. \
  - Students are added to a course waitlist in the order their request is submitted. Seats are filled from the waitlist as they become available in this same order (first come/first served basis). **There are no exceptions to this policy.\**- The Summer Session Office manages all waitlist requests. Appeals sent to instructors will be routed to our office.\
  - If you would like to request to be placed on the waitlist for more than one course, please submit one form per request.\

- ## Add or Drop

  Students who wish to add or drop a course may do so via the self-enrollment process. Please check the  before dropping a class.

  Once a course has started add/drop requests can be submitted to the Summer Session Office using the [Add/Drop Request Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGXpdnP-_Nso-21Lm0AHepWee0RFVAR-AML7S64nvEFCEkFQ/viewform?usp=header).

- ## Withdrawing from a Course with a "W" on the Transcript

  Requests to drop a course submitted after the drop deadline will be processed as a course withdrawal, which means:

  - a "W" will appear as the course grade on your transcript and
  - 100% of tuition will be billed.

  The deadline to request a withdrawal from a course is the day before the final exam or before the final project due date.
