About Academic Calendars

  • The academic calendar is intended to convey information that is solely academic in nature, including session dates, holidays and university closures.
  • The currently promulgated calendars are a standard set of academic calendars from a certain date forward in perpetuity. In this way, approval and promulgation of each academic year’s calendar is not necessary.
  • Calendars are published based on the standard set of calendars. Future academic calendars are updated on our site each summer, while the academic calendar of the previous year is archived.
