an equal number of MTWRF class days each semester and to satisfy
Federal Financial Aid guidelines for the total number of weeks for
each academic year. In addition, the committee must conform to the
following mandates:
- The fall semester must
begin after Labor Day and end before Christmas
- The spring semester
must end before Commencement, which must be held one week before
the weekend preceding Memorial Day.
- Monday holidays must
be accommodated
