Because of the remaining uncertainty about the timeline of COVID-19 and likewise the uncertainty of when normal operations will return, we have decided to have all summer courses for McKelvey Engineering offered in an on-line format.
Engineering Summer School Enrollment Form
Academic Advising
All currently enrolled Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor before registering for courses to make sure that the courses will apply to their degree program. Those not currently enrolled in any WashU program are encouraged to seek similar advice from Engineering Undergraduate Student Services.
Tuition & Payments
The tuition for Engineering summer courses is $1,994 per unit. Summer bills will be electronically sent on the last business day of the month, beginning at the end of April, and all summer balances will be due May 22. Students owing past due balances from prior semesters, including spring 2020, will not be allowed to register. Nonpayment of tuition and other expenses will result in a Student Accounting hold.
Payment Methods
| Employer Payments: Employer reimbursements that are contingent upon course completion and/or a satisfactory grade will not exempt the student from stated due dates.
|
| Embassy Payments: If payment is to be made by an embassy, the student must submit a copy of a letter of certification from the embassy at the time of registration. Embassy payments will not exempt the student from stated due dates.
|
| Refunds: If a student withdraws from a class, a withdrawal email is required.
