The Santa Clara University (SCU) Summer Program is open to all college students in good academic standing at their home institutions.  All non-degree seeking Santa Clara University students or students from other schools (non-SCU students) must fill out and submit an Online Summer Application, and pay the appropriate fees and deposits before they will be permitted to register for summer courses.  A transcript is not required.

SCU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  Units earned at SCU generally are transferable to other colleges and universities.  Students from other universities or colleges should consult with academic advisors at their home institutions prior to registration in SCU's Summer Program to determine the transferability of the SCU units.
