The “D-Plan” merely forces its students to skip an arbitrary quarter of the year but it does not make it fundamentally different from other quarter systems, which could all do the same. As a matter of fact, the D-Plan is just an ordinary quarter system with more restrictions and less flexibility.

There hasn’t been another college on the quarter system that I am aware of that doesn’t offer a full 10 week summer quarter and attending one of these quarter schools, we cram a year’s worth of material into 2 quarters ALL THE TIME. -.- (If you do the math it’s actually nothing impressive. 3 classes x 3 quarters = 9 classes. 5 classes x 2 semesters = 10 classes.)
