The daily class schedule is based on a class length of 55 minutes for Monday – Wednesday – Friday classes and 80 minutes for Monday – Wednesday, Tuesday – Thursday, and Wednesday – Friday classes, with 20 minutes between classes. Courses that meet one day a week are scheduled in 160-minute blocks and cannot meet between 11:35 am and 2:15 pm except on Fridays. All exceptions must be approved by the department head, dean, and the vice president for instruction in advance of their listing in Athena. This policy is needed in order to make full use of classroom space and offer students the widest possible choice of classes and time periods. For more information on this policy, click here.
