Summer 2026 Initiative
Summer 2026 Enrollment
The Javelina Summer 3+3: Double Your Credits, Not Your Costs!
How it Works:
We will first apply all of your eligible federal, state, and institutional gift aid to your tuition and fees. If a balance remains for your eligible 'free' credits, our summer scholarships will step in and cover the rest!
- Students who enroll in 3 summer credit hours may receive up to 3 additional summer credit hours.
- Students who enroll in 6 or more summer credit hours may receive up to 6 additional summer credit hours (up to the 12 summer credit hours maximum).
Students who register for 6 summer credit hours qualify for free housing at Lucio*! (*Summer residence hall spaces are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis for students who complete the summer housing application.)
