Winter Session
The Winter Session is divided into two terms: the first term, generally from early September to late December (although some studies begin in August); and the second term, generally from early January to the end of April (although some studies continue well into the month of May). During the Winter Session, classes are offered in the day as well as in the evening.
Summer Session
Term 1 of Summer Session begins in early May and continues through June. Term 2 of Summer Session begins in early July and ends in mid-August.
