General Policies & Procedures
Tufts University policies and procedures regarding academic standing, student conduct, and financial obligations are applicable to all students attending the university while enrolled in summer courses. It is the responsibility of each student to know, understand, and follow these policies and procedures. For more information, review the Tufts University Bulletin.
Students attending Tufts University at the graduate level (whether as a student in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the Graduate School of Engineering, or as a visiting graduate level student) have additional requirements. For particular policies and procedures, graduate students should consult officers in their respective schools to determine expectations.
Every effort has been made to represent information about Tufts University policies, procedures, course details, etc., as accurately as possible. In the event that information gathered from other Tufts University resources and presented on this website changes, the authority of other Tufts information sources will prevail.
Information about course prerequisites and other prior learning expectations is presented as received from departments offering the course. While Tufts Summer Session tries to post course information as accurately as possible, information can be updated or changed. If you have questions about course prerequisites or your ability to take the course in question, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor or department in advance of registration to determine your readiness. Misunderstanding course prerequisites or underestimating your readiness to enroll in a Tufts summer course will not result in exceptions to the summer withdrawal or tuition refund policy.
