Summer courses can ensure that you graduate on time. You can take the courses you need, catch up on credits, and be eligible for the Hope Scholarship. Online or on campus, make your summer count with an accelerated Summer Session course.
Undergraduate Session I Courses
Current RIC students are the first to register for each session, during these two time periods:
The registration system is available from 7 am–11 pm daily.
Please Note: Students interested in becoming eligible for the Hope Scholarship for Fall 2024 will need to have 60 cumulative credits by July 1, 2024; only Summer Session I courses will apply toward their eligibility.
While the undergraduate and graduate class schedules give you a sense of what is being offered and when, MyRIC will provide you with course descriptions to help you decide what to register for:
Call/class numbers are the five-digit number preceding each course and are very important for these reasons:
Also, if a course has multiple sections, please note the unique section number. You may not register for more than one section of a course.
Some courses require departmental consent to enroll. These courses are identified in Class Search on the Class Details page with the phrase "Department Consent Required." A course may have this designation for reasons such as: minimum grade point average, earned credits, major, or permission of department chair. Contact the offering department for registration information.
The college catalog contains degree requirements for all undergraduate programs of study, rules that affect students, descriptions of courses, and a list of the faculty and administration of the college. You must know the rules given in the catalog for your degree program. The catalog is the document of authority for all students.
Please note: As a current RIC student you will register first for Session I courses, starting on February 19.
