Shorter minimesters are offered within the fall and spring semesters. Fall semesters typically begin in late August and end in mid-December. Spring semesters typically begin in early January and end in late April. Summer session will begin in May and end in late July or early August.

**It is especially important that each student note that it is his or her responsibility to be aware of the calendar and of any changes in the calendar that may occur from time to time during the year.
