Get ahead during summer session

Registration for the summer session will open to all students on May 2, and both Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges are adding resources to help students earn units.
Affordable, flexible, and fast classes will be offered both online and in-person for the summer at both colleges, and students can choose online or in-person learning. These
