Academic Credits and Calendar
The unit of credit at Hesston College is the semester hour. A student enrolled in 12 or more hours per semester is considered full time. A student may take up to 17 hours under the regular tuition plan.
The academic year consists of a 16-week fall semester, a 16-week spring semester, and a series of short summer sessions. The final week of fall and spring terms is set aside for final examinations. The first day is a reading day on which no classes are held. During the next three or four days, classes are assigned a two-hour period for exams. Students who have more than three exams on one day may appeal to the Registrar to reschedule the extra exams with no additional fee. The exam schedule is published with the course offerings at the beginning of the year.
Midterm and final exams are not administered early except under unusual circumstances. The consent of the instructor is required and a fee is charged.
