The summer session is an integral
part of the University year; courses offered in the summer are
similar in character to courses given in the regular session
and have the same credit value. Candidates should be graduates
of accredited high schools or have had an equivalent preparation.
Admission to the summer session does not constitute admission
to the regular session in September. Inquiries concerning summer
admission should be addressed to the Director of the Summer
Session, P.O. Box 400161, University of Virginia, Charlottesville,
VA 22904-4161; dkm2c@ virginia.edu; www.virginia.edu/~summer.
The Summer Foreign Language
Institute offers intensive nine-week courses in French,
German, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Tibetan. Students
attend classes five days a week, six hours a day and are advised
to live in their program's language house to enhance their learning.
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are developed
in a student-centered environment. Participation in evening
cultural activities is required five days a week, and students
frequently dine together in order to practice new vocabulary
and structures. Individuals who successfully complete the Institute
earn twelve credits, which satisfies the foreign language requirement
at the University of Virginia. For further information, contact
