Calendar Calculations

Fall Semester, 2007

MWF - 43 meetings at 55 minutes each and final exam at 110 minutes (2475 total minutes)
MW and TR - 29 meetings at 80 minutes each and final exam 110 minutes (2430 total minutes)

Spring Semester, 2008

MWF - 42 meetings at 55 minutes each and final exam at 110 minutes (2420 total minutes)
MW and TR - 29 meetings at 80 minutes each and final exam at 110 minutes (2430 total minutes)

Summer Sessions, 2008

19 class meetings + exam equivalent to 1 class meeting = 20 total class meetings.
20 class meetings x 120 minutes = 2400 class minutes

Summer Session I, 2008

18 class meetings + exam equivalent to 1 class meeting = 19 total class meetings.
(class minutes will be extended to meet 2400 class minute requirements)

Summer Session II, 2008

20 class meetings x 120 minutes = 2400 class minutes

Calendar calculations for all other classes are the responsibility of the college.
