(ii) Summer term
The summer term includes one twelve-week session and a one-week examination period. Summer term courses must adhere to the following minimum requirements, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (c)-(f) below.
In courses with a final examination scheduled during the examination period, students will ordinarily be required to: meet for 60 minutes per credit each week for twelve weeks; sit for a final examination during examination period of at least 60 minutes per credit, but not to exceed three total hours in duration; and spend, on average, at least 2 hours and 20 minutes per credit each week on out-of-class work for thirteen weeks plus the week of the final examination.
Table 2 illustrates the application of these minimum requirements to summer courses ranging from 1-4 credits.
