ASU Online students will complete all experiments for the Organic Chemistry labs at the ASU Tempe campus during a one-week session in summer. Lab reports will be completed in subsequent weeks during the same summer term.


These laboratory courses will be offered during summer. This may impact your financial aid. Financial aid is available to those who apply and qualify, and students may receive funds to help cover costs for each semester of enrollment. The amount of financial aid that a student is eligible for varies depending on prior education experience and other individual factors. Learn more about summer financial aid and additional ways to cover summer costs.
