Allen Term is a 4-5-week session between the end of Fall Semester in mid-December and the start of Spring Semester in mid-January. Online courses and travel and other types of off-campus courses are offered during Allen Term.
Summer School is offered in one 12-week session, two six-week sessions, and short-term, intensive sessions of three or four weeks. Summer School offers a variety of courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. Summer Term at AU includes on-campus courses as well as online and hybrid courses that combine online learning with some on-campus classes.
Allen Term and Summer School are appropriate for people who:
- want to accelerate undergraduate studies
- are interested in graduate work
- need to make up a course or complete certain requirements
- wish to expand knowledge or skills in a variety of fields
Students enroll in courses for which they are qualified by experience or previous preparation. (Some advanced courses, however, may not be taken unless prerequisite requirements have been fulfilled.) Regular attendance is expected.
Students enrolled in another institution who plan to attend Allen Term or Summer School at Alfred University should consult an official at their home school in advance to be sure the courses are appropriate to their degree programs.
