Questions: SummerMath@sfusd.edu

Is there a cost for either of the Summer Accelerated Math courses?

• No, the intensive Summer Math courses are free for eligible students.

What if my student didn't get a seat in the course? 

• We are working to provide enough seats for all qualified applicants, but it will depend on staffing availability. If necessary, there will be a waiting list for students who do not get a seat in the course. There are other options. Please discuss these options with your student's math teacher or counselor. 

Can you recommend another summer Math course?

• We do not recommend specific outside courses because the options are always changing. If your student is interested in taking an Algebra I or Geometry course outside of SFUSD, you MUST complete paperwork and get the approval of your school administration and/or counselor prior to enrolling in a course to ensure that the course is "c"-approved for UC and meets other requirements. 

Will it help to fill out the application earlier or more than once?

• No, all applications submitted within the application window will be processed in the same way. Submitting duplicate applications will not increase the chance of getting a seat.

How are students selected for the course if there are more applicants than seats?

• Students will be assigned to available seats through a selection process with priority given to families with low incomes.​ We are working to provide enough seats for all qualified applicants, but it will depend on staffing availability. 

When will we know whether we have been accepted? 

• Students and families will be notified by email beginning late March and into April. 

What information do we need to apply for either of the Accelerated Summer Math programs?

• The student must apply using their s.sfusd.edu account. Additionally, they will need their semester grade and most recent grade in 8th grade Math, Algebra 1 or Algebra II (The grades will be verified.) Students and families must also verify that the student will commit to attending all days of the course.
