Transfer Students
Summer courses are the perfect opportunity to catch up on
general education courses or explore areas of your academic interest in
subjects such as Communication Disorders, Accounting, Psychology, and
more.
To qualify for summer
financial aid, apply to GSU as a transfer
student.
Continuing GSU Students
Students who take summer courses
are more likely to graduate in four years. If you took fewer classes than your 15-to-Finish plan, use this time
to stay on track. Talk with your
advisor about the best summer class for your degree plan.
Financial Aid
Use the financial aid
you are eligible for this summer. Check with the Office of
Financial Aid, to find out if your
Pell Grant can be applied. And don’t
forget - GSU’s tuition rate is the lowest of any university in northern
Illinois.
Illinois Articulation Initiative
GSU is part of the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Illinois General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions. Check with your home institution and your advisor to determine which courses satisfy the requirements for your program.
