computer terms during the summer: 05 (Summer Session I) and 06 (Summer Session II).
For the purpose of student credit load, the first half of summer includes Long Summer,
Summer I, Minimester A, and Minimester B. The second half of summer includes Long Summer,
Summer II, Minimester C, and Minimester D.
Students may register for/request a maximum of 10 credit hours in Long Summer, Summer I,
Minimester A and Minimester B combined.
Students may register for/request a maximum of 10 credit hours in Long Summer, Summer II,
Minimester C and Minimester D combined.
Long Summer credit hours are divided evenly between the first half and the second half of the
summer.
