Flexible Course Schedule

To accommodate students furthering their education while maintaining employment and to offer students the opportunity to be exposed to outstanding faculty from across the country, some Richmont classes are offered in nontraditional, on-ground and virtual intensive formats. For example, a two-hour course may be offered in three weekend days of 10 hours of instruction each; and three-hour courses may be taught on four Saturdays of 11 hours each, at a frequency of approximately one Saturday per month during the semester. Some intensives may opt for the class instruction to be offered via Zoom in three-hour increments over two weekends.

Syllabi are available to students at the beginning of the semester during which intensives are offered. Readings are assigned to prepare students for the first day of class when all the coursework is condensed into one weekend. All assignments may not be due that weekend, but all will be due prior to the last day of regular classes for the semester as determined by the instructor. Thus, although the class time is condensed, students still have essentially the entire semester to interact with the subject matter of the class. Although this flexible schedule is designed to benefit students needing a nontraditional schedule, Richmont does not make any guarantees about the possibility of any individual student’s ability to complete the entire degree program by attending classes only on a flexible schedule.
