Description

Primary instructors have full responsibility for teaching an established or self-designed course that is part of the regular undergraduate curriculum, developed in collaboration with the home department and Summer Session, which is offered based on departmental and student needs.

Summer Quarter courses are drawn from the undergraduate curriculum of the College. They are presented in an intensive, condensed format, for a total of 30 contact hours over the course of three to nine weeks. There is no reading or exam period for summer quarter courses; final exams are given during the last class session. Classes are not held on June 20 in observance of Juneteenth or on July 4 for Independence Day, both University holidays.

All instructors must coordinate with their co-instructors and teaching assistants, where applicable.
