Changes

• Each class time per period will be changed from 90 minutes to 100 minutes. Period 1 will start 10 minutes earlier.
• Since the class time per period will be 10 minutes longer, it will be easier to conduct interactive problem finding and solving type classes.
• With this restructuring of the academic calendar to allow for more flexibility, there will be more options for participation in internships, overseas exchange programs, and extra-curricular activities during the semester breaks.
