"Star" denotes a day when all periods are included on a special schedule. Classes meet in order starting with the indicated period except for Period 2, which is always the second commitment of the day. "Mod." (for Modified), means all classes for that pattern will meet but at different times to fit the shorter Wednesday schedule. "Special" indicates a day when there will be a special, individual schedule for the day to accommodate an event that affects the normal class schedule.
