Event Details

Check-in & Move-in will be from 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm on Sunday, July 13th. This will be followed by a mandatory orientation for parents and students at 3:30 p.m.

Check-out will be from 2:30 – 3:30 pm on Saturday, July 19th

Parents are welcome to drop off students during check-in time and pick up students during check-out time. The remainder of the program is limited to students, in order to facilitate focused attention on coursework and as close to a Bryan College student experience as possible. Parents are asked to stay for the Orientation Session.

Bedding (pillow, sheets, and blanket or sleeping bag) for an extra-long twin bed, towels, clothes, shoes for outdoor activities, rain jacket, swimsuit, toiletries, laptop (recommended), Bible, pen and paper, and spending money for snacks or merchandise from the College bookstore.

You may drive here but may not use your car while the Summer Institute is in session. You will be able to park your car in a campus parking lot.

No, we will provide all of the reading material you will need for your class once you are on campus.

The college credit offered through the Summer Institute experience is largely dependent on the experiential learning gained during the week at Summer Institute. Therefore, if a student leaves during Summer Institute (for illness or any other reason) before participating in 19 hours of the experiential learning of their given track, they will be withdrawn and unable to receive college credit. However, if a student has participated in a minimum of 19 hours of their track before leaving Summer Institute, instructors can arrange for them to complete the track and earn credit so long as the remaining learning experiences are accomplished within the timeframes specified by the syllabus.

Students will live in a Bryan College residence hall just like current Bryan students do. A current Bryan College student will serve as a Summer Institute Counselor in each hall, interacting with and assisting students. When you check in, you will be given an access card that will allow you to enter your residence hall during the week, as access is limited to residents and staff.

Please refer to your track-specific information that will be sent out prior to the beginning of the Summer Institute.

Please notify the Summer Institute Program Coordinator at least one month before the start date.

Yes, Wi-Fi will be available for all Summer Institute participants.

Current Bryan students will serve as resident assistants in the residence halls and during activities. You will have opportunities to talk with them about their experiences as students at Bryan.

Yes! Please let the Summer Institute Program Coordinator know if you would like to schedule a meeting.

Yes, a campus tour will take place right after our orientation on Sunday.

All tracks are accredited. A single COL 110 Faith & Learning elective credit is applied to their transcript after completing the Summer Institute. All 1-credit track assignments will be given and completed during the week of residency.

As Bryan College is fully accredited, the only obstacle to transfer would be with the receiving institution. Technically, Bryan has no control over what other schools accept and what they don’t; transfer credit is entirely at the discretion of the receiving institution. History indicates that most classes of this type typically transfer at least as elective credit, but there would be no guarantee that it would fulfill specific major requirements (e.g. in a Criminal Justice major) at another school.

Criminal Justice is offering an optional 3 credit track in addition to their 1 credit offering. This option is effectively a CJ dual enrollment class with a single-week residency. Additional assignments and deadlines will apply outside of the residency. Homework and assignments will be the standard amount for online college coursework.

There will be regular readings, video content, and online assignments. It will be several hours of work per week through the duration of the course.

The only in-person meetings will be during the week of the Summer Institute itself on Bryan’s Dayton campus. Otherwise, while the student will have weekly coursework expectations, there won’t be “regularly scheduled” meetings. The course will start on 6/24 and end on 8/16. Students will get access to the course 7 days before the official start date.
