LOOKING AHEAD
OUR ACADEMIC YEAR ("AY") begins in August and extends for 12 months. It is divided into 4 academic quarters, each lasting 8 weeks, and 1 summer session of 2 weeks. The remaining 18 weeks of the calendar year are spread out between the quarters as breaks of various duration. There is always at least 1 week of break between quarters.
​
Because of the way we approach our coursework, incoming new students can start on any quarter.
​
Beginning-of-quarter dates are listed below for the next three academic years. Students must be registered for coursework 3 days before the quarter begins. Full payment of the quarter must be supplied at the time of registration.
