*Thursday and Friday of the last week of classes each semester are normally designated as Reading Days.  Classes at Scripps are suspended for fall Reading Days, and suspended at the 5Cs for spring Reading Days, but professors may hold study sessions, critique sessions, or reviews. No new material may be introduced at these sessions and no exams may be given on Reading Days except to second-semester seniors.
