MAYmester
MAYmester 2020 Dates: May 4-15
Due to the COVID-19 challenge, all MAYmester courses will be taught with a blended format of a virtual face-to-face class, via Zoom, plus an online component via Blackboard. Additionally, MAYmester will be lengthened by one week, to allow extra time for assignments to be completed. All Zoom course meetings will take place during the traditional MAYmester timeframe, May 4-15, and the online coursework will run from May 4-22.
Get ready for MAYmester 2020! Complete a 3 credit course in two weeks.
MAYmester courses are intense; a three-credit course meets for only ten days.
Many credit courses require reading and/or writing to be completed prior to the start
of class. Check the course syllabi when posted for more information. All students must be
in good academic standing to take a MAYmester course and students taking a 100-or
200-level course must have a 2.5 GPA.
Degree-seeking students register via UAOnline.

How many credits can I take during MAYmester?
Limit of three.
Are MAYmester credits counted in my total summer credit load?
Yes.
What if MAYmester causes a credit overload in my summer schedule?
Banner will not accept a registration that creates a credit overload without prior
authorization. It is understood that a MAYmester course is offered in a separate time
frame from other summer courses, but Banner doesn't see it that way. To get overload
permission entered into Banner to take a MAYmester course, students can email registrar@uaf.edu
with their student ID and the requested MAYmester course name and CRN. It is helpful
to put "MAYmester Credit Overload" in the subject line. Call 907-474-7500 for additional
information.

How do I get prepared for the first class?
The first day of a MAYmester course is like the first week of a semester length course. In order to be prepared for the rapid pace of the course, reading is usually required prior to the start of class. The pre-course assignment can be found in the course syllabus.

How do I drop a class?
