MAKE SUMMER COUNT

By enrolling in classes over the summer, your student can check off those generals they’ve been meaning to take, focus on the more difficult classes, boost their GPA, and speed up their graduation date. FAFSA can cover the summer semester as well so they can use those funds wisely to help them get ahead in school. Plus, summertime in Cedar City can't be beaten! With the world's best backyard to explore and dozens of festivals to attend, there is always something to do.

Session Dates

Summer Semester Full Session: May 15 - August 20
Summer Semester 1st Session: May 15 - July 2
Summer Semester 2nd Session: July 5 - August 20
Most summer courses are available in 7-week and full-term formats.

TIPS FOR WRITING A RESUME

Send your students to the Career Center for help!

The quality of their professional documents can get your student in the door for an interview—or get them overlooked. The goal of a resume is to get them an interview. All information and formatting should serve that purpose. Send your student these details on how to make their resume shine! They can also make an appointment to get some help at the SUU Career Center!
