Difference between Summer A, B and C

Hi,
a quick and probably stupid question :smiley:

What’s the difference between Summer A, B and C? Or more specifically, what/s the difference between A and C, since it always comes up together, but in the Schedule of Courses it is separated in A and C?
Are two of those three shortened and one goes over the full length of the summer?

Thank you in advance :smiley:

Hey!

So Summer A begins right after Spring semester ends on May 11 this upcoming year and ends June 19. Summer B begins two weeks later and ends August 5. Summer C is a combination of Summer A and B, so classes go on the entire summer with a week break usually between Summer A and B.

Here are some exact dates for adding classes etc.

Hope that helps!
