8-week Accelerated Session


Starting in fall of 2008, the ICCOC will offer a 1st half and a 2nd half 8-week accelerated session during the fall and spring terms.  A complete list of courses offered during these two sessions can be found in the ICCOC Catalog.

It is very important to remember that 8-week courses are accelerated and instructors will cover sixteen weeks of course material in just eight weeks.  We highly recommend students either choose the 8-week accelerated track or the 16-week track, but not both.  Please take a moment to read through our recommended guidelines for students considering the 8-week accelerated track.

Advice from an Advisor

(short video clip)

  • Students are advised to register for only one or two accelerated courses per session.
  • Students who work 40+ hours are advised to register
    for only one accelerated course per session.
  • Students who enroll in the 8-week accelerated track
    are strongly advised not to take courses during the
    16-week track.  This is to avoid an overwhelming
    course load.
  • Students need to have their textbooks by first day
    of the session.  Instructors will have assignments
    due the first week.
  • Students need to log into their course on the session
    start date to avoid falling behind.  It is very difficult
    to catch up in an accelerated course.

To learn more about the 8-week accelerated track and to register, please contact either your academic advisor or Registrar at your home college.
