Mini Term I: August 19-October 12; Mini Term II: October 14-December 16; Flex Start I: August 26-December 16; Flex Start II: September 2-December 16 Mini Terms are offered each semester to allow students 1) the opportunity to complete courses in less time than a regular full term, and 2) to start a class or add extra classes mid-semester. Students wishing to accelerate completion of their degree might choose, for example, to complete ENG 101 during Mini Term I and ENG 102 during Mini Term II, so that both classes are done in one semester. Fall and Spring Mini Terms are typically 8 weeks and 5 weeks in the Summer due to the shorter semester. Be sure to talk to your advisor if you have questions about scheduling. NOTE: Students are encouraged to register for Mini Term II Classes during Registration June 15-August 25. Students using financial aid may not be awarded additional funds if registration for Mini Term II is completed after August 25. “Flex Start” classes refer to online classes that begin after Drop/Add ends. They start after Mini Term I and full-semester courses and before Mini Term II classes. However, even though the start date is flexible, the assignments, tests, and other assessments are all due by the end of the regular semester. Therefore, these courses are for highly-motivated students who can complete assignments successfully with less time. See Fall 2021 Flex Start courses on page 45.
