Dear friends, I would love to invite you to my summer course at the University of Colorado! You do not need to be a registered degree-seeking student to join. The group is small, only 14 students, and we still need 9 more people. If you know someone who might be interested, please share this with them, or join us yourself. I would be absolutely thrilled if one of my podcast listeners became my student this summer.

The Program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at the Univesrsity of Colorado Boulder is planning to offer an online section of RUSS 1010, Beginning Russian 1 in Summer Session B (June 30 – July 31, 2026). The classes search site is now updated with Summer 2026 classes. Students can add classes to the shopping cart on: 2/18/2026 The summer non-degree application opens: 2/18/2026. The application is in the 'Non-degree' section. Enrollment for non-degree students into Boulder Main Campus and Continuing Education sections of courses begins: 3/9/2026
Summer 2026
You can search for your desired courses on the class search site classes.colorado.edu by checking the term, and searching for RUSS 1010. At this time, you can take summer classes for credit as a CU Boulder non-degree student without transferring or going through the traditional admissions process. Your home college or university has the final say on the applicability of CU Boulder credits toward your degree. Many students find transferology.com helpful in determining how credits will transfer.
How to Apply
Apply by completing the summer non-degree application for non-degree/guest students. The application is free, non-competitive, and takes about 15-20 minutes. You will receive a Welcome Message email with your student ID number and how to access your student portal once your application is approved. If you include a copy of your unofficial transcripts within the application, you will need to have it manually reviewed by a CE advisor for courses that have requisites or restrictions. Follow the instructions for Non-Degree Requisite Approval.
How to Enroll in Classes
