FALL 2023 – Debug Version
Quest classes run in the fall and spring terms, each 14 weeks, along with an eight-week summer session in June and July.
Classes alternate weeks, so each course is approximately seven sessions (contingent upon holidays). Classes that meet in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th weeks are designated A-Week classes. Those that meet in the alternate weeks are B-Week classes.
