The Budget and Planning Committees has considered the Academic Calendar and believes that a minimum of twelve weeks (12) is required during the summer to facilitate academic learning, and that a proper summer session should be a priority over any intersession. The committee

2 also feels that a straddled intersession (i.e. one week during December and two weeks during January) would not be conducive to learning. Hence, the committee proposes a two-week intersession during January. Historically, remedial types of courses of courses have been offered during the intersession. The committee feels that this practice can continue with the proposed two-week intersession. The Kern High School district s Spring Break schedule for 2017 is not yet available. Once it is available, the university will designate the same week as its Spring Break week.
