Academic Calendar

Our academic calendar is based on three, sixteen week semesters, each divided into two, eight week minimesters. Our typical course is three semester credit hours, completed during a single minimester. This schedule provides an opportunity for an adult learner to enroll in one course at a time, master the material in that course, and yet be able to carry out the responsibilities of a working life. Everything is handled by your Student Advisor. You do not need to try to navigate some automated registration process! You and your Advisor simply discuss your program needs and your life needs, and your Advisor will help you make appropriate enrollment decisions. Then, your Advisor handles everything!

Generally, your Advisor will complete your registration by the end of the week before each minimester begins. If you need more time, your Advisor can arrange for late registration through the end of the first week of the minimester. If you need to drop a class or withdraw from a class, your Advisor will handle that, as well. Your Advisor will help you obtain books and materials and will handle all aspects of your interaction with the College, including the payment of tuition and handling refunds.
