| Onsite Frequency

Onsite Frequency

Trine University operates on a three-semester academic calendar: Fall, Spring, and Summer. Summer is a shorter term of approximately two months, while Fall and Spring are long terms of about three and a half months, divided into Term 1 and Term 2. Each semester has breaks.

International students are required to take at least two courses per semester, totaling 6 credits. Students can choose one hybrid course with an onsite component and one fully online course. Only one onsite class is required per semester, which takes place on a weekend from 8 am to 5 pm. The school is planning to increase the onsite frequency to one per semester or one per term. Attending onsite classes is mandatory, and failure to do so may result in the loss of F1 status.

Apart from the one-day onsite class, most courses are delivered through the online learning management system, Moodle. Only a small portion of courses are conducted through live Zoom sessions, while the majority are pre-recorded or optional Zoom discussions. This provides great flexibility for students to schedule their studies.

During the summer term, students can take a break (without completing a full academic year), and still apply for a 0.5 credit CPT course to work full-time with CPT.

*It is important to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above during enrollment to avoid graduation delays or termination of full-time CPT.
