Welcome to Virtual Summer @ CMU

We're delighted that you'll be joining us for a (Virtual) Summer @ CMU! While the summer session will look different than it has in years past, we are confident that the Carnegie Mellon University community will stay strong, resilient, and united, even at a distance.

As you prepare for the summer session, we would like to remind you of important course schedule information, online resources, and ways to stay engaged and connected with the Virtual Summer Studies community.

Check Your Schedule & Verify Your Course Time Zones

It is important to double-check your course schedule within Student Information Online (SIO) for any schedule changes, updates or cancellations.

If you are registered for CMU - Qatar course sections (any course with the letters W - Z following the course number), remember that these courses will meet in Doha time (Arabian Standard Time/AST).

If you are registered for Pittsburgh course sections, remember that these courses will meet in Pittsburgh time (Eastern Time/ET).

Courses must be attended synchronously (at the time they are scheduled) unless you have received permission from the instructor to attend asynchronously (by viewing a recording).

Update Information in SIO

Be sure to verify that your contact information under the My Info tab in SIO is correct, including local residence address (if applicable), permanent address, mobile phone, and emergency contact information.

While updating your information in SIO, you may also use NameCoach to provide the phonetic pronunciation of your name and register your pronouns so that your instructors can address you correctly.

Stay Connected

The Summer 2020 Updates webpage is a bulletin with updates about summer 2020 coursework, research, and programming that has been affected by the shift to online learning.

Our Welcome to (Virtual) Summer @ CMU webpage is a one-stop shop for helpful information from various campus organizations about summer resources and online events, as well as some other fun surprises.

We also encourage you to follow our social sites to get the latest up-to-date information about Virtual Summer Studies. Tag your posts with #VirtualCMUSummer to enter our annual Instagram contest and to show us how you're spending your CMU summer!
