Expansion of Spring/Summer Instruction
Chair: Jim Penner-Hahn, Associate Dean for Budget, Literature Science, and the Arts
Enrollments in the Spring/Summer semesters traditionally have lagged behind Fall and Winter semester. This group will propose two or three options for increasing Spring-Summer enrollment and will develop comprehensive plans to implement each option.
Expansion of Spring/Summer course offerings could provide many benefits, including:
- increased utilization of instructional space between May 1 and August 31, when typically many classrooms are idle,
- more flexibility for students in scheduling classes,
- enhanced revenue by increasing overall enrollment.
