SUMMER INSTRUCTIONAL SESSION
(Proposal 1-01)
Senate Policy 113.1
The summer session will consist of two, consecutive six-week
sessions, and one twelve-week session that is the
concatenation of the six-week sessions. The first session
begins the second Monday after Spring Commencement, takes
a recess for Memorial Day, and instruction ends with classes on
Thursday of the sixth week. This provides 28 days for
instruction. Friday of the sixth week is for final exams. The
second six-week session begins the following Monday, takes a
recess for July 4, and instruction ends with classes on Thursday
of the sixth week. As with the first session, this provides 28
days for instruction and Friday of the sixth week is reserved for
final exams.
In addition, there should be continued the current practice that
allows a variety of alternative schedules for specialized classes
serving students who specifically need them. Field programs
involving extensive travel and intensive training workshops are
good examples.
