Summer Session at Winona State University helps students stay on track to meet their educational goals. As an institution dedicated to student success and continuous growth through learning, Summer Session is an integral part of our mission.

We have found in recent years that as we have offered more options to students during the summer, enrollment has climbed. This can be attributed to the departments and individuals who have chosen to respond to the needs and wishes of our students and make summer the perfect time for them to catch up, keep up and get ahead.

This report captures enrollment and student-reported data and gives a snapshot of the 2014 (AY15) WSU Summer Session. You will also find details of resources available to you that will help you continue to make WSU a place where students thrive all year.
