The Summer Residential Experience with UA Early College
Early College students, you can spend part of your summer with us, here on the beautiful UA campus in Tuscaloosa.
- Live in Ridgecrest West, a modern suite-style dorm with private bedrooms, living/dining area, and kitchenette.
- Dine at the many locations on campus that accept Dining Dollars -- for hot meals, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, coffee, food markets, etc.
- Take 6-7 credit hours on campus! Last year, Early College students took courses such as Chemistry, Ethics, Working Lives, Critical Decision-Making, Psychology, Geography, Spanish, German and Public Speaking.
- Use UA Libraries for quiet study and research -- you can even grab a coffee or sandwich downstairs in Gorgas Library when you need a break.
- Work out at the UA Rec Center -- check out the fantastic climbing wall and outdoor pool.
- Make new friends, spend time with peer coaches, and participate in all kinds of UA Early College activities!
The Summer Residential Experience will take place during Summer I term: May 30-June 30. If you are a current student or parent, we will soon send you email with more detailed information. You can also email us anytime, or call 1-877-823-8759, for more information.
Other Summer Options
As always, Early College offers courses online during summer full term (10 weeks, May 31-August 5). Students who live within a reasonable commuting distance may also elect to drive to campus daily for on-campus courses.
