A significant part of Summit Orientation will be devoted to planning your schedule and registering for classes.
Before you arrive for Summit you should spend some time planning your schedule. This is not always a simple task, so allow plenty of time to read over your information, create your schedule, and make sure you have a list of back-up courses. You will be assigned an advisor for the day to look over your planned schedule, but your session will be more successful if you plan ahead. Below you will find some information and links to assist you in planning.

If you took French, Spanish, or Latin in high school, and have not completed the Foreign Language requirement through your transfer credit, you should take the Foreign Language Placement test at Summit. This test is not mandatory but it is to your advantage to take if you plan to continue in the same language taken in high school to fulfill the foreign language requirement.
