SFSU's summer semester begins today with the first of three sessions. This is the second year that the University is offering a full, state-supported summer program. And the number of class offerings has been expanded to 1,359 -- about 150 more than last year. More courses are available across the board with the largest boost to basic writing, math and other prerequisites.

So far more than 8,011 students have enrolled.

Students can still register for one of the three summer sessions:

• Session R1 begins today; Students can register only with instructor's approval.
• Session R2 begins July 15; the deadline to register without instructor's approval is July 12.
• Session R3 begins June 24; the deadline to register without instructor's approval is June 21.
