Summer Course Information
Due to the popularity of summer classes, we strongly recommend students register in Workday as soon as they are able. Registration opens in early April, and students on our email list will be notified first, followed by an all-student email.
Before registration opens, Brandeis students may want to review their Workday account and make sure they do not have a hold that could prevent registration. Many summer courses fill to capacity quickly!
How Do I Register?
All registration will take place in the Brandeis records system called Workday. Your path to enrollment differs if you are an existing Brandeis student, or if you are a visiting student from another college or university.

Maneuvering Through Our Course Listings
Visit our course listings page. There you can easily see which courses will be offered in each session and which courses are offered asynchronously, on Zoom-based remote learning, and on campus by selecting specific options from each drop down.
Generally speaking, most on-campus and Zoom-based remote learning classes are offered in the 5-week sessions and most asynchronous courses and internships are offered in the 10-week extended session. However, there are some exceptions to this guideline.
