Morning Break

This school break (10-10:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday), traditionally known as "milk and cookies," provides students and faculty an opportunity to talk informally over snacks and beverages.

Majors

Meet from 8 - 10 a.m. six mornings a week.

Minors

Meet from either 10:30 - 11:45 or 12:15 - 1:30 on Monday through Friday.

Extended Minors

Meet at 10:30 and extend beyond 11:45 for a course that requires 10 - 12 hours of classroom time per week.

Study Hours

There are short periods in the daily schedule when students may study, but the bulk of their homework is customarily accomplished in the evening. Whether studying in their dormitories, the library, the computer center, the language learning center, the art studios, the writing center or the math center, students are required to keep these hours quiet and in every way conducive to study.

The Math, Writing, ESL, and SAT Study Centers offer the rare opportunity for tutoring by skilled faculty members. These centers operate daily to complement in-class instruction and to provide individual attention.
