Class Schedule Matrix

Daytime Classes

In the daytime for fall, winter, and spring, OC has adopted a unique class schedule that overlays traditional daily 50 minute classes with a block schedule of Monday/Wednesday/Friday and Tuesday/Thursday classes. Additionally, many classes are scheduled as hybrid, with some in-person class time replaced by online time.

Daily and block schedules intersect at 10 am and 1 pm, allowing students, faculty, and rooms to smoothly transition between daily and block schedules. In addition, there is one four-day-a-week time slot meeting for 65 minutes Monday through Thursday at 1 pm. Block classes do not include breaks. The daytime schedule matrix looks like this:

Classes may also meet MW and TTh 7:45 am – 9:50 am and 1 pm to 3:15 pm. Classes are scheduled to cross as few blocks or hours as possible to maximize students’ choices.

Evening Classes

During the regular academic year, evening classes are usually scheduled MW or TTh 5 pm to 7:15 pm and 7:25 pm to 9:40 pm. They may also be scheduled to cover the whole evening and meet only once a week.

Summer Schedule

Summer session starts on or after July 1 and runs for 7 weeks. Most classes meet Monday through Thursday. Fall, winter, and spring are each about 54 days, including finals. Summer is about 32 days (including finals), so classes are considerably compressed.

Canvas Website

All classes are provided an online presence in the Canvas learning management system (although faculty are not required to use Canvas for in person classes). See eLearning Page for more information on Canvas.
