Summer College Experience for High School Students
The 2018 Emory Pre-College Program, a summer academic program for high school students, is now accepting applications. The program gives college-bound sophomores and juniors an exciting glimpse of academic life at Emory. High school students may explore topics with professors who are the leading experts in their fields in two- and three-week noncredit courses.  Pre-College students may choose to live on campus in a residence hall or within commuting distance with their families. A variety of programs, activities, and excursions are included.

Emory Summer College is a nonresidential program, which qualified sophomores or juniors in high school may apply and be considered for undergraduate courses and earn college credit.

OPUS Getting a New Look This Summer
Coming in June 2018, OPUS (Emory’s PeopleSoft student information system) will be upgraded to a new version of system software.  This upgrade will begin after 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 7th and will be completed prior to the start of the business on Monday, June 11th.  During this maintenance, OPUS will be unavailable to all users.  Upon login to the upgraded system, all users will find a newly designed home page tailored to their current OPUS access.  Informational sessions and training will be scheduled in late April and May with additional sessions in August in preparation for the 2018-19 academic year.

After the upgrade, faculty and staff will utilize a new tile-based navigation to perform the same OPUS functions that are used today.  For students, the upgrade will include similar navigational changes, as well as several updated features that allow for common functions to be easily performed on any device, including mobile devices. Look for more announcements on the upgrade and training coming soon.
