If they do it the same as this year, there are seven “periods” in a day. Each is an hour long with ten minutes in between to travel from class to class.

i.e.:

0800-0900
0910-1010
1020-1120
Lunch
1230-1330
1340-1440
1445-1545
1550-1650

Seventh period almost never has a class scheduled for it unless you take a “lag class” (which is a make-up class from a previous trimester if you failed it). You won’t be in class every period, either. For first trimester of my plebe year, I had eight free periods (not including seventh period).

You’ll be assigned to what is called a “section,” which is just a group of students from 2012 (but not necessarily from your company) that you will take your classes with (so the same group travels from classroom to classroom). This section may or may not change each trimester, and usually consists of people from the same major. Hopefully you received a short, wide blue book in the mail called the catalog. If you look in there, it has each of the six majors and every single course that you will take for that major. It includes how many credits the course is and even which trimester you will take it (though this may vary).

No matter what major you select, you’ll still take almost the same classes as everyone else for the first trimester. Later on is when they start getting unique to your major. It will look something like this:

English 1
Physics 1
Calculus 1
Basic Fire Fighting
Swimming/First Aid
Maritime Professional Studies (KP100)
+plus lab sessions for Physics and KP100

Hope this helps!
