Have you considered signing up for an on-campus May Experience course? We have a display up as you enter James B. Duke Library that has more information.
What is the May Experience?
The May Experience is a 3-week term that moves out of the classroom, melding theory with practice for intensive learning experiences. It offers an opportunity to explore exciting topics that aren’t offered during the academic year. Some courses can count towards a major, while others are offered for elective credit.
How do I register?
The registration process for May Experience is similar to registering for your courses during the academic year by accessing the course selection/registration menu through My.Furman.
Classes begin filling when registration opens on Friday, December 2, 2016 and the registration period ends on Monday, April 17th, 2017. Consult your academic advisor or the faculty member leading the class to determine if a course matches your academic goals. Some courses may require the completion of a prerequisite or may be enrolled on an invitation-only basis. You can enroll in only one course each MayX term.
What will it cost?
The tuition cost of MayX is covered by your Spring semester comprehensive fee. There are no additional charges for on-campus MayX courses.
Where will I live? What will I eat?
Furman provides the same housing accommodations, dining and student services during May Experience that are available during the academic year, but students are not required to live on campus. If you are planning to live on campus, you will be required to purchase a meal plan. The price for both housing and 33 meals in the Dining Hall is $775.
If you are not living on campus, you still have the option to purchase a meal plan. Visit the Housing and Residence Life website for the housing application, costs and more information.
