Class Schedule Information

Classes are typically scheduled during the hours of 7:00 am to 11:00 pm Monday through Friday and 7:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Most often, students attend classes between two to four days per week; however, some courses (most notably in the nursing programs) may require additional days of instruction per week. Nursing clinical rotations may be scheduled any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, 24 hours a day. The Dental Hygiene core curriculum requires students to attend classes, labs, and clinic sessions up to five days per week. After program completion and in preparation for clinical board examinations, Dental Hygiene students will be allowed to attend specific clinic sessions.

Most distance education programs do not have face-to-face class meetings scheduled. Some distance education programs include on-campus intensives.  See program of study page for additional class schedule information.  However, the MSN-FNP curriculum includes scheduled weekend intensives during the FNP trimesters.  The courses for the online programs are open for students to commence coursework on the first Monday of each eight week term as part of a trimester and close on the last Sunday of each eight week term within the trimester.

Class Times

Please Note: Nursing and Physician Assistant clinical rotations may be scheduled any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, 24 hours a day.
