One note about a frequently asked question: any Honors hours completed
during a summer session apply to the current academic year, as the AY runs
from August to August.

Summer financial aid: if you intend to use your textbook, Regents or other
scholarship for summer study, you must apply for summer financial aid in
order to do so.  Use the Scholarships and Financial Aid website, and go to
Summer Financial Aid.  You should do this before you register for summer
classes.  Direct any questions to that office.
