Alternate Timeframe Classes

The drop-down and check boxes in the credit schedule of classes allow you to select many different class timeframes. For this reason it is very important for you to review all start and stop dates for all classes.  Options include:

5-Week Classes:  5-week classes have specific start and stop dates. Three 5-week sessions are scheduled during each traditional semester.

8-Week Classes:  8-week classes have specific start and stop dates. Two 8-week sessions are scheduled during each traditional semester. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base classes are primarily 8-week classes, however, classes are also offered in a three weekend format that results in an AA degree.

14-Week Late-Start Classes:  14-week late-start classes begin after the traditional semester starts and last 14 weeks. All normal course content is covered, so classes are slightly accelerated.

Weekend Classes:  All campuses offer classes that allow you to attend only on weekends.  It is a great way to complete a degree or to supplement your overall enrollment.
