The academic day on the Monday sequence is divided into five periods of 60 minutes each for instructional use. The academic day on the Tuesday sequence offers five periods of 90 minutes each for instructional use. Recognizing that different kinds of courses require different contexts for learning, the College has not restricted discussion groups, studio activities, laboratories, and seminars to the schedule outlined above. Some classes, particularly elementary courses in modern foreign languages, meet every day for 55 minutes. Other classes meet on Monday and Wednesday for 90 minutes.
Double periods are available for laboratories and other activities requiring large blocks of time.
Students should consult the printed class schedule as they plan their courses each term.
