The college operates on a quarter system, with three 11-week terms in the regular academic year(学年). A fourth quarter is offered in the summer and is divided into shorter sessions(学期)during which only one course at a time may be taken. A full quarter may be earned if a student enrolls for all of the summer sessions.
In the three 11-week term, classes for five quarter hours of credit meet four full hours per week, and laboratory courses meet five full hours per week. Classes meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays for one hour total time scheduled for laboratories. Courses for less than five-quarter hours meet for fewer hours per week.
Scheduled physical education activities and fine arts participation activities meet for one hour twice weekly or the equivalent time once a week.
