Each class and companion seminar lasts the entire quarter and requires four full days' time each week. The following classes may be chosen as electives. These classes are usually offered only once or twice per year. Each reporting class is a quarter long and includes a companion seminar. Together, the class and seminar require four days of time each week, and so only one reporting class and companion seminar may be taken at a time.
Every student takes three units each quarter.
