2026 Summer Courses at Shenandoah

Financial Aid

Current Shenandoah University students who will attend classes during the Summer terms may request a review of their summer financial aid eligibility by submitting a SU Summer School Financial Aid Application to the Office of Financial Aid. During the summer terms, Shenandoah can only offer Federal Pell Grants and Federal Loans provided you have not used up your eligibility during the Fall and Spring semesters. Most federal aid programs, including federal student loans, require you to enroll in at least 6 credit hours in each summer term to be eligible. 

Summer Add/Drop Policy

The last day to add or drop a course differs for summer terms and is based on the duration of meeting times. A student is entitled to a full refund on a course according to the following guidelines:

Courses meeting 3 to 4 weeks – first day of class and the following business day  

Courses meeting 5 to 6 weeks – first day of class and the following two business days

Courses meeting 7 to 8 weeks – first day of class and the following three business days

Courses meeting 9 or more weeks – first day of class and the following four business days 

Summer Withdrawal Policy

A summer course withdrawal is based on the length of the course.

For courses running longer than two weeks, a student is able to withdraw prior to the 50% point of course completion. Tuition is only prorated if a student withdraws from all summer courses in a term by the 50% point.

Summer Housing

Students can live on campus during the summer for a flat rate of $1,250 for the entire summer.

The fee covers room and utilities (no meal plan) for a room at Vaden Campus Commons. Students must pay the full $1,250 fee (payment plans are not offered for this fee) prior to moving in, which would be at the end of May/beginning of June if staying at the end of the Spring semester. A student may live on campus over the Summer if they are not taking Summer courses, but only if they were enrolled as a full-time student for the previous Spring semester. Students must apply by completing the proper form on StarRez Housing Portal.

Summer Meals

Students may purchase meals as needed. Allen Dining Hall is being renovated during summer 2026.  During this time, purchase individual meals at the door of the Ferrari Room during operating hours. Please check the dining website for up-to-date information on when service is available.
