[OACRAO] instructional time.

[Tina Hickman]

Cindy, You just couldn't let sleeping dogs lie, could you?  ;-)

Just to be sure that I am clear, can we include final exams in this 
calculation? My understanding was that we could not, meaning we would 
need a 16 week semester (15 weeks of instruction and 1 week of finals) 
for those of us with 50 minute classes.

I cannot imagine that Marietta is alone in this. Have others adjusted 
their calendars?
