RUNA operates on a student-centric calendar (SCP). Each semester consists of 16 weeks of instruction and exams; classes are scheduled in two eight-week sessions each semester. An individual’s SCP is based on his/her initial enrollment date into a degree-seeking program or on the date studies are resumed following readmission to the University. This results in two overlapping calendars referred to as “cycles.” The two overlapping calendar cycles designate months corresponding to RUNA’s summer, fall, and spring semesters.
