About Super Saturday
Beginning
February 28 and continuing on Saturday mornings through
April 4, four hundred elementary and middle school students will
transform the UNC Asheville campus into a very special learning environment designed to offer
high-interest, "hands-on" opportunities to explore new ideas and broaden
perspectives.
Super Saturday is UNC
Asheville's six-week Saturday
morning enrichment program for academically gifted, creative, and/or highly
motivated students in grades 3 - 8. Students may choose one or two courses per
session from a diverse offering of nearly 30 different exciting classes. UNC
Asheville's Super Saturday program is offered twice each year--once in the
Spring and again in the Fall.
Acceptance into the program is through
registration, which
includes initial verification by qualified school personnel that the applicant demonstrates outstanding
achievement or potential and/or is identified as academically gifted according to the State of North
Carolina guidelines.
Tuition and
Registration
Tuition is $65 for each course. The registration postmark deadline
is February 25, 2009. Late registration will be permitted on February 28
(in person only) on a space available basis at the main information desk in
UNC Asheville's Carmichael Hall lobby.
Super Saturday
registrations may be paid using cash, check, money order, Visa or Mastercard.
Many classes tend
to fill up and close quickly, so early registration is encouraged to ensure
your child gets into his or her first choice class(es).
Refund Policy
A $15 cancellation/processing fee will be deducted from any refund requested
after February 20. Please note that no refunds will be issued after March 2.
Scholarships
A limited number of need-based scholarships (limited to one course per student) are available. The
scholarship application postmark deadline is January 30, 2009. To apply
for a scholarship, please send a letter describing the reason for your
specific need along with your child's completed registration form
to:
