Student Schedules

All course schedules have been created based on the projected math and science that follows the sequence of your current math and science course. Schedules will be sent out to students via email the week prior to Summer Academy and provided as paper copies when students arrive on their first day.

All students will receive their assigned EIP Math and Science and be given opportunity to request a course change. Connect with Central Staff for questions at eip@gmu.edu.

Excuses and Absences

Excuses will be reviewed and decided upon on a case-by-case basis. After two unexcused absences, the student will be dismissed from the program. Excused absences will only be granted with documentation. EIP will consider exceptions beyond the two days on a case-by-case basis if there is documentation of a family emergency or personal illness.

For any questions, please contact the EIP office at 703-993-3120 or eip@gmu.edu.
