How are summer courses advertised?

Summer courses are advertised via the Web Bulletin, which receives several hundred thousand visitors each year. The Web Bulletin for summer can be found at: http://www.nyu.edu/summer.

Courses are searchable on the Web by school, category or course number. Note that each course may have three fields of study associated with it. When the course was originally offered, we asked each department to verify the three areas under which the course should be listed.

The Web Bulletin draws its course listings directly from SIS. This means that if you have not notified the Registrar about a summer course (on a Turnaround), then the course will not appear in SIS.

Note one exception: if a course was listed last summer, the course may be reflected on the Turnaround from the Registrar for the next year. This means you may have to REMOVE a course that was previously listed for summer if the department is no longer offering it. Please check your Registrar Turnarounds carefully.

Can the department advertise its own courses?

Yes, absolutely. Departments are encouraged to let their majors and minors know about course offerings by email, and to post flyers around the department and campus. Courses advertised this way have a better chance of getting sufficient enrollment.

How do I update the summer Web Bulletin listings for my department?

Please check all of your department's course listings carefully for accuracy:

www.nyu.edu/summer

The Web Bulletin draws its course listings directly from SIS (course number, title, instructor, points, days and times). This means that if there is a problem with the listing, you must correct it with the Registrar.

If a course does not appear, it means the Registrar/SIS does not have the course listed. You must let the Registrar know via a Turnaround.

Note: if a course was listed in the previous summer, the course will remain listed on the Web Bulletin the next summer. The Registrar does not automatically remove courses year to year - if you are no longer offering a summer course, you must notify the Registrar to remove it via the Turnaround when the Registrar sends it. Please check your Registrar Turnarounds and SIS carefully, since these feed the Web Bulletin.

How do I get course descriptions listed on the Web Bulletin?

Course descriptions are not provided in SIS and thus, are not reflected on the Web Bulletin for any newly added courses until they are manually entered. The previous year's courses and descriptions will remain from year to year unless you remove the course by submitting a TAD to the Registrar to cancel the course. You must provide course descriptions via e-mail to the Arts & Science Office of Summer Programs and we will manually enter them into the Web Bulletin.

Also, if you have a title that differs from the official title of the course, this must also be added by hand (for example, Special Topics courses).
