Summer Term FAQ
Click any question below to display the corresponding answer.
When does registration start?
Registration begins Monday, February 17.
What courses are available?
Courses are listed in Student Planning as well as online.
Some of the online courses don’t have dates and times listed. Does that mean they haven’t been determined yet?
When an online course doesn’t have dates and times listed, that means it will be offered asynchronously (you access course materials and complete assignments independently without the need to be online at the same time as the instructor and/or classmates). You won’t have formal class meeting times, so you can fit your coursework around a job or other summer plans.
There are so many courses, how do I pick the ones that are best for me?
We recommend that you discuss your selections with a faculty advisor or make an appointment with Student Academic Support Services [SASS: 603-358-2500 or ksc.sass@keene.edu].
When does Summer Session start?
There are three summer sessions:
- Summer 1 is from May 27 to July 3.
- Summer 2 is from July 7 to August 15.
- Full Summer is from May 27 to August 15.
As a KSC student, can I register online?

What if I need a course that isn’t being offered?
You are encouraged to speak with the department chair for the discipline in which the course you would like to take is offered and discuss the possibility of the course being offered or if there is an alternative option.
