The programs are only open to incoming, full-time first-year students enrolled for the 2026-27 academic year. Note: Spaces in these programs are limited and tend to fill quickly. Registration is conducted on a first come, first served basis. We recommend you register as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment. Registration begins March 4, 2026, at 8 a.m.

The Summer Experience Programs are optional for all incoming first-year students. The summer programs offer an opportunity to get connected on campus and gain experiences that earn you college credits.

Registration information is provided on the program pages. Please follow the directions carefully and feel free to contact the Course Director(s) if you have any questions.

Summer Experience Programs are tailored to most levels of experience and ability. We encourage you, however, to review any recommendations the course directors have listed in the program description to see if that matches your experience.

We have incredibly dedicated faculty and staff member course directors who have an interest in, and a passion for, helping students transition to the Salisbury community. The course directors also hire and train upper-class peer leaders to assist in the programs and serve as a resource to all the new students before, during and after the trip.

Making friends and feeling connected are what the Summer Experience Programs are all about. You get an experience with a small group of your new classmates, upper-class student peer leaders and faculty/staff. The friends you will make during your program are just the beginning. We encourage you to read the testimonies of students who participated in these programs in past years.
