University Programs @ DISL



		The DISL 2010 Undergraduate Program is divided into three sessions: a two-week May Term [May 17 -May 28]; a five-week First Summer Session [May 31 - July 2]. followed by a five-week Second Summer Session [July 5 - August 6]. During these sessions, over 20 marine science courses of varying amounts of credit are offered. All students must register for summer classes and housing directly with the DISL beginning in January each year. Students must also register at their home university when registration opens.
Students from DISL Member Schools register and receive credit for DISL courses directly through their home campus. Other students may receive credit by arrangement between their institution and the DISL, or by registering as a transient student at a DISL Member School.
During the summer, a majority of students are in residence on the DISL campus. Class schedules and field trips often require students to spend some evening and weekend time working in the laboratory, on class projects or on extended field

exercises. These courses emphasize to learning through 'hands on' laboratory and research experience.
