Summer Term at Charlotte gives you the flexibility to learn your way. With a wide selection of courses across full and half terms, you can build a schedule that helps you meet your goals without giving up your summer plans.

Summer Term Dates 2026
UNC Charlotte offers three summer terms so you can build a course plan that fits your timeline, priorities, and pace.

Find Courses

When you select Summer 2026, you can see all courses across all summer terms. Consult the date range for the course to know when the course will be delivered. To narrow down your search to a specific term, you will want to select “Full Term”, “First Half Term”, or “Second Half Term” under the “Session” section of the search options.

Register for Courses

By clicking on the course title, you will see a display of course information, including the number of seats available. Each course section has a specified enrollment limit. When enrollment in a course section reaches the limit, it is considered “closed” and no further enrollments will be allowed. For information regarding a specific closed course section, students should contact the academic department offering the course.

For example, if a chemistry course that you want is full, you should contact the Chemistry Department. You can find the contact phone number by using the On-Campus Directory. You may want to monitor the enrollment daily in case a student drops the course; some seats may open on the day after the cancellation for non-payment.

Students should consult the course notes in Banner for specific course requirements.

Registration is completed through Web Registration Using My UNC Charlotte.
Students new to Web Registration will find questions answered at Questions About Registration.
