    Summer Remediation**

    *When planning for breaks, students should wait to make travel plans until they have their full class and exam schedules. Because sessions/exams could be rescheduled, students should not plan to leave "early" for break.

    **Students who do not pass Fundamentals block(s) will be required to remediate during winter break. Students who do not pass an organ module course will be required to remediate during summer break. UME will determine which remediation date will apply to each course.
