Do I have to be in class all weekend? 
The Weekend College format is designed to meet the needs of working women who want to return to school. Classes meet every other weekend. The academic year is divided into three semesters. Classes meet eight times per semester (seven times during the summer semester.) Each weekend session is divided into five class periods, and you may take from one to five classes each semester. 

Classes meet:
Fridays: 6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. 
Saturdays: 8:30 a.m. - Noon; 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. 
Sundays: 8:30 a.m. - Noon; 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. 
Wednesdays: 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (Math & Spanish Classes Only) 

How long will it take me to complete my degree? 
Because you set your own pace for completing your program of study, you may enroll full or part-time. Generally, if you have no previous college credit and attend full time, you can complete an associate degree in about two years or a bachelor's degree in about four years. By working with your academic advisor, you can develop a course sequence that fits your schedule and graduation goals. If you have transfer credit, you may be able to complete your program more quickly. 

How do I know if my previous college credit will transfer to College of Saint Mary? 
The Registrar's Office makes the official determination regarding transfer hours accepted at CSM. The college does not accept transfer grades below C (2.0). Find out more information about Transfer Students.
