Hey y'all! So, I'm considering a college that is on a quarter system. Does anyone know when the summer quarter usually begins at most colleges?
At schools that operate on the quarter system, summer term typically starts in late June. However, this does vary depending on the specific institution as some may begin their summer term in early June or even in late May. Remember that colleges on the quarter system usually have four academic periods: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, each about 10 weeks long. I'd recommend checking the institution's academic calendar for the most accurate information. Academic calendars are usually easily accessible online through the school's registrar office webpage. It would just require you to input the school name, followed by "academic calendar" into any search engine.
