Castleton Announces Online Summer Session and Lower Tuition for Summer of 2020

Castleton, VT (04/21/2020) — Castleton University will deliver its upcoming summer session online, allowing students to continue their studies from the comfort of their homes.

Castleton's summer session courses run in an accelerated format, ranging from three to eight weeks. Summer Session One runs from May 18 to June 26, and Session Two is from July 6 to August 14.

Current students can register for courses online through the student portal. We also welcome students who are attending other colleges and universities and nonmatriculated students to take part in our summer session. To register for a course, visit Financial and Registration Services.

Castleton is offering a special tuition rate for undergraduate Summer 2020 courses of $350 per credit, which reflects a 27% reduction (excluding courses in the Nursing program*).

"The COVID-19 crisis has created new challenges for nearly everyone, including our students and their families," said Maurice Ouimet, dean of enrollment. "We want to make it as easy as possible for our students to maintain their academic progress or get ahead of the game this summer. Offering our summer courses online and the reduced tuition are steps to help ensure our students can continue their academic plan."

On-campus housing will not be available to students this summer due to the uncertainty of restrictions that may remain in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
