This restructured calendar is part of President Jonathan Koppell’s initiative to allow students to take full-length courses across three semesters (fall, 春季和夏季), enabling them to have year-round educational opportunities.

  • 来说打破: Allocate a minimum of a full week break at the conclusion of the summer session, 让每个人都充电.

• 一致性和可预测性: Developing a standardized calendar that remains consistent year-to-year offers predictability to students, faculty and the campus community for efficient scheduling.

Due to the change in the length of each semester/term, class times needed to be adjusted to maintain the state-mandated teaching time requirements for each course. 除了, this was an opportunity for us to develop a course block schedule that can better accommodate the needs of our faculty and students. By minimizing course overlaps and providing sufficient time for both faculty and students to transition between classes, the schedule promotes an organized and effective educational environment. Generally, with few exceptions, 大学 courses adhere to the available course block options.

• 减少重叠上课时间: 课次, 也称为课程块, 是可叠起堆放的, allowing students to take courses consecutively without long gaps between classes. This promotes efficient scheduling and course availability.
• 调整后的夜校上课时间: 夜校在下午5:20开始.m., providing at least two course options of the same course block type (e.g.(MW或TTH). This accommodates students who prefer evening classes and offers scheduling flexibility.
• 两个普通小时: There are now two Common 小时 on Monday and Wednesday, 2 – 3:30 p.m. This creates dedicated time slots for student engagement and campus-wide activities, enhancing the overall student experience.
• 多种课程安排选项: We are now offering a variety of different class schedule meeting options (once a week, 一周两次或三次). The new course grid consists of 25 blocks of twice-a-week classes (three and four credits), 39 once-a-week time blocks (three and four credits), and six three-times-a-week time blocks. 这给了教员, students and academic departments additional flexibility in creating personalized course schedules that would best meet their needs.
• 打破: 类似春假, the 大学 calendar now has a fall break separating the two 7-week sessions.

There are many different class schedule options, including the following:

• M/W or T/TH (2 days/week) for 3 credits
• M/W or T/TH (2 days/week) for 4 credits
• M、W、F(3天/周)，3个学分
• M, T, W, TH, F, S, or SU (1 day/week) for 3 credits
• M, T, W, TH, or F (1 day/week) for 4 credits

Sure – whatever works best with your schedule!
