QUEST CLASS CALENDAR

Quest classes run for both fall (September to mid- December) and spring (February to mid-May) terms, each 14 weeks, and there is an eight-week summer session that runs in June and July, with just one class offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays only from 10:30 a.m. until Noon.

In general, classes alternate weeks, so each course is approximately seven sessions (contingent upon holiday schedules). Classes that meet on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th weeks are designated A-Week classes. Those that meet on the alternate weeks are B-Week classes.
