The mission of the University of Richmond is to sustain a collaborative learning and research community that supports the personal development of its members and the creation of new knowledge. A Richmond education prepares students to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society. Approved March 15, 2005 by the Board of Trustees.
NOTE: The University Mission Statement replaces the statement of Purpose adopted for the previous SACS review in 1997.
Our Summer School serves a variety of students:
- High school students who graduate in June and wish to begin their college studies before the fall term
- College students who wish to accelerate their programs
- Pre-professional students who want to meet entrance requirements to medical, law and other professional and technical schools
- Students who wish to take day or evening classes, or both
- Teachers needing to renew licenses or broaden their teaching fields
- Graduate students desiring work toward master's degrees
- Students interested in traveling abroad to enrich their learning experiences
- Qualified high school students who have completed their junior year
The University of Richmond is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097; Telephone: 404/679-4501) to award associate, baccalaureate, master and juris doctor degrees. The University also is certified by the Virginia State Board of Education to offer teacher licensure programs. Various departments and divisions have more specialized accreditation. Included in this category are the music program, accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and the chemistry program, accredited by the American Chemical Society. In addition, the E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business at the undergraduate and graduate levels and the T.C. Williams School of Law is accredited by the American Bar Association.
Admission to the Summer School does not imply admission to any other school of the University. Should a student wish to attend another school of the University, application should be made to the Dean of Admission of that school. A student wishing to receive graduate credit for summer coursework must have credentials on file in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for admission as a special student.
Approximately 95 percent of our summer faculty hold doctorates, and most teach in the regular session of the University. Outstanding visiting lecturers also participate in the Summer School.
The University of Richmond is located within the western limits of the city. The campus is one of serene natural beauty - 350 acres of woods, lawn and lake with handsome Gothic buildings. It is this aura of tranquility and tradition that prompted a campus visitor to exclaim, "This is how I've always thought a university ought to look."
Classes are held in air-conditioned classrooms, conveniently located to the parking area, and scheduled with the student in mind.
The UR Bookstore, centrally located in the Tyler Haynes Commons, stocks all required texts and supplies requested by the instructors for Summer School classes. Non-required books, supplies, insignia gifts and clothing, and sundry items also are available for personal shopping. Bookstore hours: 8:45 a.m.-4:45 p.m., Monday-Friday. Exceptions include:
- Monday, May 12: 8:45 a.m.-6 p.m.

The mission of Recreation and Wellness is to provide opportunities and experiences that foster personal development, enhance academic productivity, increase physical and psychological health, and encourage social interaction through involvement in health, wellness and recreational activity.
The Recreation and Wellness department is committed to providing optimal recreational opportunities for students, faculty and staff. Free memberships are available to all University of Richmond full-time students, full-time faculty and staff and retired employees. All other part-time students and employees are charged a discounted membership fee. In addition, a limited number of memberships are available for the community and alumni.
Eligible students, staff and faculty are permitted to use the Recreation and Wellness facilities during normal hours of operation. The new Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness provides a comprehensive facility that includes a two-level fitness and wellness center, three-court gymnasium with an elevated walking and jogging track, two multipurpose rooms, pool, game room, racquetball and squash courts, as well as locker room and sauna facilities. Participants experience a full range of cardio and strength equipment, in addition to a wellness resource center and computer lab. Outdoor playing fields and lighted basketball courts are available for recreational use. Also available for recreational use when not scheduled for intramurals, intercollegiate athletics or special events are 13 tennis courts, a 400 meter track and cross country trails.
Members may participate in a variety of classes and programs throughout the year. The Fitness and Wellness program offers group exercise, indoor cycling and instructional programs throughout the day. In addition, special screenings, assessments and services are offered to address health and wellness topics. Services often include massage therapy, personal training, cholesterol screenings, blood pressure checks and fitness assessments. The Intramural Sports program offers a wide range of major and minor sports at a variety of skill levels. More than 25 sport clubs provide student leadership opportunities as well as competitive options for students who are not part of the varsity athletic program. The Natural High/Outdoor Adventure program offers activities and trips throughout the year, often including whitewater tubing and rafting, camping, skiing, rock climbing and hiking.
For more information about Recreation and Wellness programs or the Weinstein Center, please visit the Recreation and Wellness Web site.
Parking permits are required and may be obtained free of charge from the University Parking Services located on the ground floor of the Special Programs Building. The current year parking permit is in effect throughout the summer. Students are restricted to student lots. The parking lots are lighted and patrolled by University Police.
When a student registers for Summer School, it is done with the understanding that the student will abide by the Honor Code of the University of Richmond. A copy of the Honor Code is available online.
DAY CLASSES - examinations are given on the final Friday (in the case of July term, on the final Thursday) of each session according to class beginning time: 8 a.m. class exam time = 8 a.m.; 10:15 a.m. class exam time = Noon; 12:45 p.m. class exam time = 4 p.m.; 2:45-4:45 p.m. class exam time = 4 p.m.
EVENING CLASSES - (beginning after 4:45 p.m.) examinations are given on the last regularly scheduled meeting of the class with the following exceptions: Classes that would normally meet on Memorial Day or the 4th of July will have their examinations from 6-9 p.m. on the last Friday of the session.
To audit or take a course on a pass/fail basis, a special form must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar by the date specified in the Summer School calendar. Check your school to see if Audit or Pass/Fail grading is acceptable.
To register for an independent study, practicum, or an internship, a Summer Individual Course Instruction form requiring prior approval of the departmental chair, dean, and the supervising instructor must be completed. No independent study/internship will be accepted after July 14.
Students register for a full session. However, in the event that a student finds it necessary to withdraw from classes, or is dismissed from the University, the student will receive a percentage refund. Changes in registration must be initiated in the School of Continuing Studies or Registrar's Office within the deadlines specified in the Summer calendar. Withdrawals during the No-Record Drop period are not shown on the Academic record; withdrawals after that date carry the grade of W on the academic record. Students who stop attending class without notifying the School of Continuing Studies office or Registrar will receive the grade of V (failure due to excessive absences) regardless of the last date of attendance.
Designated courses are available for students to take at either the undergraduate or graduate level. As explained below, accreditation standards require that students at the graduate level complete more work, often additional papers or projects, and achieve at a higher level. The requirements for each level are clearly defined on the course syllabus.
Students can change the level of a course they are registered for through the Add/Late Registration date as specified on the Summer Calendar. For special short classes, no level changes can be made after the second day of the course. Requirements for students who wish to take a course at the graduate level are outlined below. Students who change the course level will be refunded or charged the tuition difference.
All 500-level courses are open only to graduate students. Undergraduate courses offered for graduate credit are designated in the schedule. Graduate students taking these courses are expected to complete more work and achieve at a higher level than undergraduate students. A student registering for an Arts and Sciences graduate course who has not previously taken a course for graduate credit at the University of Richmond should complete and return the Graduate School Information form to the Summer School office. Please attach this form to the Summer School Application/Registration form.
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences graduate credit is allowed only for courses approved for graduate credit in which grades of B- (2.7) or better are received. No credit toward graduation will be given for an arts and sciences graduate course in which the student earns a grade lower than B- (2.7).
The level of students' performance in classwork and examinations is indicated by letters. A (excellent), B (good), C (average), and D (poor) indicate that the work has been passed. The foregoing grades may be accompanied by a plus (+) or minus (-) to indicate a relative position within the grade category. P shows credit has been earned in a Pass/Fail course, and Z shows that a course was audited. S and U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in non-academic courses or in a Pass/No-credit course. W indicates that the student withdrew from a course with a passing average. Marks indicating failure and included as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course with a failing average), and V (failure because ofexcessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been received from the instructor.
I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The I, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than 45 calendar days from the last class day of the term in which the I was given. If the work is not made up during the grace period, the I will be converted to F. The Y, which does not count as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor, or at the end of the first term of a course that continues into a succeeding term. There is no deadline for completion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In the case of an I or Y, once the make-up grade is received, it appears to the right of the incomplete grade on the permanent record. In all cases, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course.
The University of Richmond uses the semester hour value. A semester hour is determined by a combination of factors that include contact time with a faculty member in a formal setting and expectations of independent student work through a nominal 15-week semester.
The grade point average is based on two factors:
GPA Hours - The accumulation of academic semester hours that have grades to which grade point values are assigned; and
Grade Points - Given for each semester hour's grade according to the following scale:Calculation - The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of GPA hours. The grade point average is represented to two significant decimal figures.
A+ = 4.0 A = 4.0 A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 B- = 2.7 C+ = 2.3 C = 2.0 C- = 1.7 D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0 D- = 0.7 F = 0.0 I = 0.0 M = 0.0 V = 0.0
The accumulations and average are shown each term on the permanent academic record. Also shown is the accumulation of Earned Semester Hours. Earned hours are the academic semester hours in which the student has earned passing grades, plus semester hours credit, if any, for accepted transfer work.
Grades are due to the Registrar's Office from instructors as specified on the Summer Calendar. Usually students may access grades via BannerWeb 72 hours after grades are due. Students will need their Student ID and PIN.
Grades are deemed correct unless notification to the contrary is received by the University Registrar within three (3) months after the close of the term specified.
If a student withdraws from classes or is dropped from the University for whatever cause, a refund of fees shall be made in accordance with the following schedule. Refunds are made first to any financial program the student may be receiving, then to any University unsettled account, and then to the student.
