Expanding our late start offerings within a shortened time frame is key to that initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spring Session II classes start on March 21. Students can add classes until just before the start date, however some are already filling up. Many of these courses are also designed to complement classes that will be offered in the first session of the summer semester, which starts May 16.
