[edit] Modular Schedule

During the 1970s, Ursuline switched to a modular schedule. This consists of 6 days (lettered A-F) each with 18 "mods". Each mod is 20 minutes long, with a three-minute passing time between each one added in 2004. Classes are either two or three mods long (43 minutes to an hour and six minutes).
