Summer Course Finder

SiPN’s Summer Program is split into two 4-week sessions: June and July. Students can combine sessions.

In each session, students may pick and choose from classes that are developed by SiPN, direct enrollment classes, and Portuguese language classes at various levels and intensities. Students may take no more than 12 ECTS (typically 6 US credits) in any 4-week session.

These course offerings must reach minimum recruitment to run. If a course doesn’t meet this minimum, it will be cancelled. Thereafter, we will inform the prospective student giving them the option to choose another course or request a refund for their deposit.
