The following is being sent on behalf of Summer Sessions Director, Leesa Beck.
**************************************************************

The Office of Summer Sessions is pleased to invite submissions for our 2023 Summer Online Course Development Grant!  This grant funds the development of fully online courses to be offered in Summer quarter, allowing UCSB students to continue making degree progress even if they can't be on campus.  Over the past few years, we've seen the demand for online courses in Summer grow dramatically, so this initiative plays an important role helping our campus to meet its student FTE goals, and in helping our students to stay on track academically.

Proposals are due on Friday, June 23rd, 2023, and the selected courses will be developed over the 2023-2024 academic year to be offered in Summer 2024 and Summer 2025.

If you have questions about the Summer Online initiative, or the grant process, please feel free to reach out to me at leesa@ucsb.edu.
