Online Courses

UW Summer Sessions offers a select number of online courses. Designed to include synchronous or asynchronous online class meetings, these courses are regular credit courses taught by UW faculty and follow the same academic schedule as other Summer Sessions courses.

Start finding your courses and learn more details by browsing the course listings below. Course formats and technology requirements vary. Check this page for updates since new courses may be added before summer quarter starts.

For information on registering for these and other courses, see the How to Register page.

Find Your Course

There are several ways to find information about individual online courses. The UW offers two different views of the course catalog.

Non-UW students and high school students can use the public access version of the catalog known as the Course Offerings View. After you’ve applied and have a UW NetID, you can use the Time Schedule View.
Current UW students and anyone with a UW Net ID can use the Time Schedule View to see when and where a course is offered.

Browse the list on our all online courses page to find more information about courses offered online this summer. You'll see online courses grouped by department.

The UW course catalog, known as the Time Schedule, shows all courses available on the UW Seattle campus during summer quarter, with courses arranged by individual college and academic department, such as the College of Arts and Sciences.  Time Schedule View requires an active UW NetID. Non-UW students can use the public access Course Offerings View instead.

To use the Time Schedule:

If you want an online course, look for an O (online) or A (online asynchronous) under the Other column.

When you find a course you're interested in, make note of the Schedule Line Number (SLN) or course abbreviation and number. You'll need this when it's time to register for your course.
