Summer is a great time to let yourself grow! Take that elective class you've been missing, catch up with a math or science course, or just learn something new. All current UW students are eligible to take classes at the Tacoma campus; visiting students from other schools are also welcome.
Summer quarter classes are offered in a compressed format so you don't spend the whole summer in class, but the content covered is rigorous and equal to that of a standard quarter, so be ready to dig in and work. Classes are held during a full nine-week term or one of two four-and-a-half week terms (A and B terms), and they're often conveniently scheduled, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful Northwest and have time to work or play.
