Scheduled Courses
This bulletin contains a list of courses planned for the Summer Session. Students should be aware that some courses may be canceled due to low enrollment. Please see further explanation under “Insufficient Enrollment.” It is also possible that Summer Session courses have enrollment limits and may be oversubscribed. Therefore, students should include alternates on the Registration Form. Priority in registration for oversubscribed courses is given to degree candidates at Millikin University. Additional priority is determined by the date tuition payment is received. You will be notified if a course does not reach minimum enrollment and will not be taught prior to the start of classes. If you are not notified of a change you should assume class will begin as scheduled.

Directed Studies, Independent
Studies, Internships
In addition to the scheduled courses listed, a limited number of Millikin faculty are available to direct internships and independent studies during Summer Session. Students interested in a special course should contact the department or professor directly to determine if the course may be scheduled. Appropriate forms for registering for any of these special courses can be obtained and filed in the Registrar’s Office. To receive academic credit for an internship, students must complete their registration at the University prior to completing their internship. A Millikin faculty member serves as a supervisor and generally a plan for the internship is discussed well in advance with the intended supervisor and student’s academic advisor. One academic credit is given for approximately 40 hours of internship and each internship must be approved through the appropriate
department.

Policies and Procedures

Attendance
As responsible persons, Summer Session students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes and laboratories.

Students should refer to their syllabus, which should state an individual instructor’s policies for the course. Summer term classes meet five days a week, Monday through Friday, unless otherwise noted. Immersion Courses meet for the dates listed under course descriptions (includes weekends). Absences due to illness of the student, serious illness or death in the immediate family, or extenuating circumstances generally carry no penalty. Students are expected to notify their instructors in advance about anticipated absences, and to make appropriate arrangements to make up work. In the event a student has difficulty reaching instructors to report an absence of several days duration, the Student Life and Academic Development Office will assist the student at (217) 424-6340.
