**PLEASE NOTE**

Because of the large enrolment for summer school, we cannot guarantee which semester the two (2) week programs will be offered. Students must visit the summer school location on the 1st day to check the weeks their course is running.  Due to the large number of students, and the short turn around time, it is impossible to guarantee a phone call to inform the student.
