The academic calendar has been created so that students know the key dates within each term and throughout the academic year.
Students should know that the academic calendar is subject to change and should check the Student Handbook and Academic Catalog online to ensure that they have the most up-to-date version.
Prior to finalizing travel for holiday breaks, students should always speak with their professors to ensure the travel dates will not interfere with class-related work.
Please Note: The Drop/Add Period ends at the end of business on the fifth day of classes for each term.
