Summer Course Scheduling

Summer Term 2025 undergraduate courses should be scheduled for sessions entirely within the ranges 5/19/2025 and 8/10/2025.


Below is the list of recommended sessions (updated for Summer 2025):

Recommended Sessions
# of Weeks Code Start End
4-week ZDD 5/19/25 6/15/25
4-week DDD 6/16/25 7/13/25
4-week HDD 7/14/25 8/10/25
6-week ZFF 5/19/25 6/29/25
6-week FFF 6/30/25 8/10/25
8-week DHH 6/16/25 8/10/25
  • Choosing other terms may be problematic for students, and thus discourage enrollment.
  • Do not use early sessions (with session code beginning 'Y') or late sessions (sessions ending later than the general 8-week 'DHH' session). These sessions fall outside of the Summer Term calendar and impact student grading and end-of-term actions (e.g., drops, academic standing). Some of these sessions overlap with spring/fall faculty contract dates, and will create HR/payroll issues for instructors and Teaching Assistants.
