Number of Semesters in An Academic Year
There will be two semesters, Semester I and Semester II, in an academic year. In addition to these two regular semesters, there may be a short semester in the intervening period between end of Semester II and commencement of Semester I. During this short semester, students according to their needs may take additional courses either to make up deficiencies in credit and grade point average (GPA) requirements, or to fulfill the credit requirements for bachelor degree and thus spending less time than the normal duration.

We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”

“We hold on to hopes for next year every year in western Dakota: hoping that droughts will end; hoping that our crops won’t be hailed out in the few rainstorms that come; hoping that it won’t be too windy on the day we harvest, blowing away five bushels an acre; hoping ... that if we get a fair crop, we’ll be able to get a fair price for it. Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
