Anyone may participate in Summer Sessions. Registration in Summer
Sessions neither requires nor implies admission to the University of
Delaware. There are some courses which are designed for special student
populations. Such courses may have enrollment restrictions or give
preference to certain registrants. Students are advised to read the notes
in the
course listing section of this site, and to register early since
courses are assigned on a first-come first-served basis subject to
registration restrictions.
