学术计划

网易彩票下载 uses a quarter calendar system that spans three regular quarters (Autumn, 冬天, and Spring quarters) and an optional summer term, used by most students as a vacation period. 

冬天 and Spring Quarters each consist of 10 weeks of instruction. Autumn Quarter includes 10 weeks of instruction preceded by 9月会议, an optional period of four to six weeks beginning after Summer Session ends and prior to start of the regular Autumn Quarter. 9月会议 provides an opportunity for students to enroll in unique or specialty courses, including short-term study abroad Global Seminars.

Credits taken during 9月会议 count toward students’ Autumn Quarter credit load, and students are allowed to apply their financial aid toward these classes. (If students take more than a combined 18 credits during the 9月会议 and Autumn Quarter, they will be charged for the overload.)

9月会议 allows flexibility and opportunity for our students who may want to catch up on credits, or move toward degree completion more quickly. 了解更多网易彩票app 9月会议.

学术负载

学分的定义

One “credit” signifies the value toward graduation of a class meeting one period of approximately one hour each week for a quarter of approximately 10 weeks together with satisfactory completion of the assigned out-of-class work. Two (and sometimes three) 50-minute periods of laboratory work are regarded as equivalent to one such period of regular class work.

The SPU “credit” is a “quarter” credit and is equal to two-thirds of the “semester” credit in use at some institutions. (For instance, 45 quarter credits are equivalent to 30 semester credits.) It is expected that students will spend at least two 50-minute periods of work outside the classroom for each 50 minutes spent in class.
