Graduate Catalog 1993-1994
The University
Academic Calendar and Class Schedule

   The University follows a semester plan. The fall semester runs
from early September to just before the Christmas recess in December.
The spring semester begins in early February and ends in late May. Two
five-week summer sessions of day and evening courses and a seven-and-
one-half-week session of evening courses make up the summer school
that runs from June to August. Course offerings in the summer sessions
afford students the opportunity to pursue regular credit courses and
independent study. Several graduate courses are offered for the
professional education of elementary and secondary school teachers.
   A five-week winter session held in January between the spring and
fall terms provides opportunities for regular and experimental
courses, innovative projects, off-campus experiences, and independent
study. Ordinarily, about ten percent of winter session courses are at
the graduate level. Students may register for a maximum of 7 credits;
registration for more than 7 credit hours must be approved by the
Office of Graduate Studies.
   The University operates on a daily class schedule with classes
held from 7:30 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. No distinction is made between
"day" students and "night" students.
