Course Credit and Grades
All courses open to high school students are graded (A-F) and carry 100 units of credit, and have undergraduate-level course numbers. It’s important to note that, as opposed to many universities that structure their calendars by semesters, the University of Chicago operates on a quarter system. Each University of Chicago 100-unit course is the equivalent of 3.3 semester credit hours.
Students interested in the possible transfer of any University of Chicago credit earned while taking Summer Session courses will have to contact that institution directly. Transferability of credit to another institution is at the discretion of that institution. Please note that a student’s grades will not be sent to a university or any other institution unless a student has requested a transcript. Transcripts for Summer Session courses are available through a student's myUChicago account beginning in late August
Books
You can see if your course requires a textbook by searching the The University of Chicago Bookstore and The Seminary Co-op Bookstore websites. Many courses have readings that are available entirely online via a UChicago website that you can log into using your cNet ID and password.
