Launch Your Grizzly Journey Early!
Why wait until fall? Summer Launch is a five-week online program for incoming first-year students to earn up to six college credits before their first semester—saving time and money, lightening future course loads, and building momentum. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with fellow Grizzlies and get a head start on college life.
When? June 22 – July 24, 2026
Where? Online
What Courses Will I Take? Over the five weeks in the summer, students will complete one and/or two online courses.
Why? Students will have the opportunity to get ahead on coursework, participate in smaller classes, and get to virtually know the ins and outs of campus.
Cost? Please visit the Cost and Scholarships page for more information.
How Can I be Successful? Students should plan to spend, on average, 5-10 hours (depending on if you take one or two courses) each week on coursework and will need to balance summer activities with the program. Students will need access to a computer with microphone and video capabilities and access to the internet for the full 5-week program.
