As most of the University's students
are out working, traveling, or enjoying
the sun, nearly 8,000 students will be
hitting the books this summer.
Summer session Director Ron Tre
bon said that about 7,800 students
are enrolled in at least one of the 800
courses the University is offering.
Trebon said that although the
numbers are about the same as last
year, attendance is still at an all-time
high. According to the University Reg
istrar' s Web site, enrollment peaked in
fall 2002 with 20,044 students.
"We've had a lot of growth in the
academic year student pool and, as a
result, summer session numbers have
increased," Trebon said.
With the poor economy, many stu
dents take classes instead of searching
for summer jobs, Trebon added. Addi
tionally, many teachers and educators
come to the University to take educa
tional leadership classes to earn teach
ing certifications. Eugene natives who
attend school elsewhere also take classes
at the University while they are home
The summer session offers various
class schedules: weekend workshops,
one-week courses, four-week classes
and eight-week sessions.
According to Trebon, the average
undergraduate summer student takes
a nine-credit load, and graduate stu
dents usually take about eight credits.
The summer session's most popu
lar classes include those in Romance

languages, political science, econom
ics and education, Trebon said.
While many students are enrolled in
classes this summer, the majority will
be living off-campus. Residence Service
Manager Deanna Miller said she ex
pects about 200 students to live in the
residence halls during summer session.
Summer session students may notice
that their tuition bills may be higher this
summer than last Trebon said as tuition
for the regular academic year increased
so did the cost of summer classes.
