HOT reasons for you to take HPU courses this summer:

• Small class sizes
• Flexible schedule, 3 different terms
• Courses taken at HPU calculate into your GPA. Courses taken away do not!
• Most courses away are only worth 3 credits, while courses taken through HPU receive the full 4 credits.
• You may repeat a course during summer school to stay on track for graduation and redeem your GPA. Only courses graded with a C- or below may be repeated.  Courses may not be repeated away from HPU.
• The length of a summer class is much shorter than the same course offered during the fall or spring semester. This allows you to get through a class quickly.
• Fewer students attend summer classes. This means smaller class sizes and potentially more attention from professors for those who attend. The class may feel more intimate and laid back.
• Summer classes begin shortly after the spring semester ends, you avoid a long gap in your learning. Summer coursework keeps you in the groove of studying and attending class. You have the option of completing prerequisite classes during the summer so that you can register for more advanced classes in the fall for continuity in your degree program.  This enables you to focus your attention on a particular subject instead of splitting your time between four or more classes.
• HPU offers online courses.  This is a great way to stay in school and be at home for the summer.  HPU online courses count toward your GPA, outside online courses do not.
