Programs with a high number of credits, such as pharmacy, will require the use of summer semesters for coursework. Programs with less credit requirements may be able to have some summer semesters as a vacation period. Each program should look at their curriculum, keeping in mind the need to balance co-op coverage over 12 months. The desire is to have students working later in the curriculum to obtain better co-op positions, and the academic requirements to design a semester curriculum. PT is dual division and can work with the proposed semester calendar but will use only 12 months for co-op rather than the 18 in the calendar.
Nursing has several tracks and needs to be reviewed.
