Summer B 2020 - Accredited Summer

Due to the global Covid-19 health crisis, it is with a heavy heart that SRISA has officially canceled its Summer 2020 and Fall 2020 terms. This was not an easy decision, but after careful consideration, it was made in the best interest of student safety.

SRISA enthusiastically looks forward to resuming operations for the Spring 2021 semester for a shortened 12-week term. Dates and fees have been reduced for both housing and tuition.
