understand the desire for students to devote time to friends and relatives who make the long journey and visit them during the semester. However, students are also required to respect our academic policies and faithfully attend and participate in all classes, course field trips and excursions, exams, and other co-curricular class activities and events. Therefore each semester the academic calendar provides for a week-long break, just after mid-term exams, during which time no classes are held. At this time students can travel independently, and devote time to friends and relatives who visit and not worry about missing any portion of the academic program.
