Scheduling update: Questions about May/summer class meeting length
Question: How many hours a day should my May or summer session class meet?
Answer: Calculate the number of
hours it meets during fall or spring semester and divide by the number
of days it will meet during May or summer session. For example, MATH
1001 meets MWF, 8:00 - 8:50 a.m. during fall semester. It therefore
meets for a total of 45 hours. MATH 1001 meets for 15 days during the
summer session, 45/15 = 3 hours per day during summer.
Check the Scheduling website for more information on May/summer 2012 important dates.
For ECS questions, contact the Student Records Training & Support Team at 612-625-2803 or srhelp@umn.edu.
