DePaul University operates on a quarter system. Unlike semesters,
which are typically 15-16 weeks in length, quarters are ten weeks
in length, occurring in the autumn, winter, spring and summer. Since
quarters are only ten weeks in length, it is imperative to your success
as a new student not to fall behind. Be sure to attend all classes
(especially during the first week) and keep an open line of communication
with your professors.
Quarters tend to progress rapidly, so make sure you check deadlines
and due dates.
If you find that you’re having difficulty with classes, do
not hesitate to discuss your concerns with your professors. Your
professors want you to succeed, and will often recommend strategies
for being successful in class. You may also want to meet with your
major field or LA&S advisor to discuss any concerns you have
about classes or adjusting to the college lifestyle. |
