GUIDELINES FOR SUMMER SCHEDULING

Time frame for summer semesters—6 weeks (starting 2001)

CALENDAR — Summer I begins 5/21 and ends 6/30/2001

Summer II begins 7/2 and ends 8/11/2001

Interim term begins 6/18 and ends 7/28/2001

Full term begins 5/21 and ends 8/11/2001

The purpose of these guidelines is to facilitate the building of student’s schedules by reducing the conflicts caused by overlapping scheduling of courses.

Following the guidelines is important. Department chairpersons or persons assuming responsibility for scheduling of classes need to consult with others about courses affecting several departments. Where advisable, exceptions to the standard pattern can be made through approval from the appropriate Dean.

Avoid/minimize breaking across schedule blocks.
