Start dates
Our school operates on a quarter system, which means new classes start in January, April, July, and October for official credit toward level completion. To earn credit, students must enroll for the entire quarter (12 weeks). However, if a student joins classes in the middle of a quarter, they may need to repeat the same level. See the catalog for details.
End dates
Regardless of the number of months that students register, their end date must coincide with the quarter schedule. Our ESL program’s end dates are in March, June, September, and December. Students who want to apply for 3 months but do not begin the course on the first start date will need to enroll and finish the following quarter as well — for example, a student who begins in February of the 1st quarter will need to enroll and finish the 2nd quarter as well.
