Summer terms will then become the first terms of the academic years going forward, and their schedules will be published with the appropriate academic calendar. Consistent with the Catalog, degree-seeking students may only matriculate into Lyon College during the Fall and Spring semesters except for those who are entering the BSN or MAT programs.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing Mini-Term
Students may matriculate into the BSN program at three points during the calendar year: at the start of the February Mini-Term, at the start of the May Mini-Term, and at the start of the August Mini-Term.
Nursing courses at Lyon are offered in an online/hybrid, asynchronous format. The time required of students to complete regular, 3-credit hour nursing courses in this format should be the equivalent of 6600–7200 minutes (110–120 hours). Non-3-credit-hour courses have a proportional expectation.
