How is the summer session different than the regular school year? What is the 9-credit summer requirement?
The summer session is divided into three terms. Summer C is a full summer session. Class times and frequency are like the normal academic year. Summer A is the first 6 or 7 weeks and Summer B the second 6 or 7 weeks. Classes during A and B will meet twice as often per week in order to complete the required hours for the course. Two courses in a summer A or B term is the work equivalent of 12 credits in a regular term. We DO NOT encourage students to take their most difficult courses in the shorter summer A or B session.
