Intercollegiate Sports

Most practices for intercollegiate sports teams are held in the afternoon after 3 p.m. Therefore, students participating in intercollegiate sports should avoid taking classes that are scheduled to end after 3 p.m. If an evening class must be scheduled, students should utilize Monday nights, if possible. Students should also keep in mind the time it takes to get to and from class and the practice location.
