Early registration for Maymester begins March 28. Advising begins March 14.

"Maymester classes begin May 11 and go through May 27. May 30 is a holiday and the exams are scheduled for May 31," said Eileen Walker, advising coordinator at Georgia Highlands College.

During Maymester, students work at an accelerated pace. Walker stated, "Each class day is equivalent to one week, so students need to be aware of the class' intensity. Many students do quite well, because they say they do not have time to forget!"

Students may receive credit for classes that last 15 weeks in only three weeks, though the choice of classes is limited.

Brenda Grissom, an LPN bridge to RN major from Rome, said, "I took two classes last May, FCCS 1100 and nutrition. They both included projects which made them really tough."

She also added that there was not much time for her family, and she did not recommend students taking more than two classes.

In contrast, nursing/education major Nicole Duck of Rome likes Maymester.

"Wham Bam Thank you Mam and we're done. It's a very easy way to knock out your core curriculum. I just loved it and I'm going to do it again," Duck said.

Maymester classes may be taken alone or in combination with other summer classes.

In addition to Maymester, there will be full term summer classes and also two short summer sessions.
