  • 2020 Summer Semester

    First Session: May 26 - June 25
    8-Week Session: June 8 - July 30
    Second Session: June 29 - July 30

Students away at four-year colleges and universities who are home for the summer can register for classes at Prairie State College. We offer many of the same general education course requirements at a fraction of the cost of public (state) and private colleges and universities. Course options include English, speech, biology, chemistry, history, math and much more. Classes are offered days, evenings, and online.

Want to register for classes or change your summer schedule?

Using, your PSC email account, send a registration request to enrollment@prairiestate.edu. Please include the following:

  • Name
  • Student ID Number or Date of Birth
  • Residential Address
  • Phone Number
  • Courses you want to register, add or drop

 

A member of the office will process your request and send you a confirmation email.

Please review the academic calendar and summer refund table for applicable deadlines.

Please Note: Refunds for dropped courses are subject to the refund table located in the summer schedule.

Visit the PSC Enrollment Services Office before returning to your home college and have a copy of your final transcript from PSC forwarded.

What If I Never Attend?
Course attendance is important to academic success. You must attend the courses you register for at Prairie State College. If you register for a course and never attend, you run the risk of being dropped from the course(s). If you will be unable to attend any courses in which you enrolled, you must drop them. Refer to the academic calendar and the college refund table for applicable dates. Use the A-Z index where information is arranged alphabetically.
