Summer runs from 28 June — 19 September 2027 and is not a standard intake. It's available for undergraduate students who need to repeat courses, and it's the regular term for our online Masters and PhD students. If Summer applies to you, your programme team will share your exact dates. For details, contact support@walshcollege.ae (on-campus) or accounts@uecampus.com (online).
Dates listed are for 11-week courses. If your course runs shorter, check the additional information section of your course in Self-Service for Students.
All registration transactions — adding, dropping, and withdrawing — must be completed before the deadline date listed.
If you withdraw from a course or semester you remain liable for the full tuition fee. A course repeat fee will apply when you register again.
