The Department of Education has shown a renewed interest in making sure institutions are adhering to a standard semester schedule for financial aid. The Department defines a standard semester as a block of 15 to 17 weeks. All courses must be scheduled to begin and end within the boundaries imposed by the term, with the exception that a course may begin no earlier two weeks or end no later than two weeks after the standard semester for undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses. In the near future, Academic Support Resources (ASR) will be reviewing course start and stop dates to be sure they are compliant with the standard semester rule.
