ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
Organization by Semesters
The university operates on the semester basis.
This means that the work during the academic year
is divided into two semesters of approximately sixteen
weeks each (15 weeks of instruction and 1 week of
final exams). One semester hour of credit is based
on one hour of work per week for fifteen weeks. |

| Summer Sessions
The 2002 and 2003 summer sessions will include
a full eight-week session, two six-week sessions,
three four-week sessions, and a number of special
