MCC uses a quarter system with four academic quarters designated as FA (Fall), WI (Winter),SP (Spring), and SS (Summer). Academic quarters are 11 weeks in length (except for the Summer quarter with one 10-week and two five-week sessions).
Standard courses are full-quarter classes that begin and end within the designated academic quarter dates (see begin and end dates in the academic calendar). Non-standard courses may run for less than the full quarter, more than the full quarter, and/or may have non-standard begin and end dates not within the designated academic quarter dates.
