NMC sets revised semester dates

As the Northern Marianas College moves forward with recovery efforts on its Saipan campus, the safety and comfort of students and employees continue to remain the highest priority. The college has announced that it has modified the dates for its 2015 summer and fall semesters.

Summer 2015
The college’s summer 2015 semester will resume on Aug. 24, 2015, and will run through Aug. 28, 2015. Students who are enrolled for the summer 2015 semester will be receiving additional information during the next few days. Students are encouraged to contact their instructors in the meantime to receive additional details about their classes.

Fall 2015
The first day of the college’s fall 2015 semester has been moved to Monday, Sept. 28, 2015, and the semester will run through Dec. 24, 2015. More information will be made available regarding the fall 2015 semester in the next few days. Because the college will be modifying the semester timeframe from 16 to 13 weeks, it is necessary to make corresponding changes in classroom contact hours. As such, students who have already registered for the fall 2015 semester will find their classes may be extended on each day to meet the instructional contact hour requirement. These time periods will be shared with students as soon as they are finalized. Please note the following updated dates for fall 2015 semester.
