SCHEDULING OF COURSES
Weekend classes may be scheduled on Track A, B, or C. Track A and B courses meet on alternate weekends, seven times per semester in four-hour sessions. Track C courses meet every weekend for two and one-half hour sessions. Track A and B meeting times are 8:00 a.m.– 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.– 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise indicated in the schedule. Track C meeting times may vary but are usually scheduled from 8:00 a.m.– 10:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m.– 1:00 p.m., 8:00 a.m.– 12:00 p.m., or 1:00 p.m.– 3:30 p.m.
Most evening courses meet once per week for two and one-half hour sessions per week. Several evening courses meet twice weekly and these session times vary. Evening courses are considered those beginning at 4:30 p.m. or later.
Weekend and evening courses cover the same content as traditional courses but are organized in a time-intensive arrangement requiring self-direction and pacing by each student. Since these classes meet fewer times per week than most day classes, attendance is critical to the student’s success. Instructors may require assignments due the first time class meets.
