Session

Definition
A Sesson refers to a typical operating time of one semester in SVCC. Thus, a single session typically runs 11 weeks (excluding pre and post session activities).

Sessional Discrepancy
Generally, Fall and Winter semesters run in concordance to the University of Alberta's Fall and Winter terms. However, because of the shortened Spring and Summer semesters, SVCC operates under a combined Spring/Summer semester which runs the full 11-weeks; thus SVCC's year-round-calendar consists of only 3 semesters, compared to a post-secondary style of 4 semesters.
