September Term at UChicago
2024 September Term courses will take place from August 26- September 13, 2024. There will be no class on Monday, September 2 due to the Labor Day holiday.
September Term courses cannot be used toward degree requirements for Summer 2024 graduates.
A three-week intensive course option, September Term provides opportunities for students in the College, and visiting undergraduate students, to fulfill major and general education course requirements between the end of summer activities and the start of the Fall Quarter. Each September Term course is equal to 100-units of credit. Students should only enroll in one course and can take courses either in-person or via remote instruction.
