* Half of the 8-week Summer session can be completed as a half-session of 4 weeks
  (either May 29 to June 26, or June 28 to July 27). Please contact the ESL Office to
  make arrangements.

Classes begin on the same day as the first day of regular academic classes for the University. Final exams are held during the University's finals week at the end of the semester. The schedule of classes is determined after registration and depends on the number of students enrolled.

Instructors are required to monitor attendance on a daily basis and report to the IEP Coordinator if there are problems. Students must show sufficient attendance in order to receive a Certificate of Completion for their course of study. Absenteeism will adversely affect a student's grades.

All IEP students will receive UM credit for their core courses.
