Academic Calendar

Classes are conducted throughout the year, except for holidays. The calendar year is divided into five 10-week quarters. Each quarter has a mini-start in the middle for a total of 10 starts per year, spaced approximately at five-week intervals. The starts which coincide with the beginning of a quarter are considered to be the main starts.

Typically classes are offered on the following schedule: Day classes begin at 9:30 am, afternoon classes start at 2:00 pm. evening classes begin at 6:00 pm. Both graduate and undergraduate courses may be scheduled for either five or nine week sessions.
