Academic Calendar

Academic Calendar: Fall 2026 – Spring 2027

The Academic Calendar is a central resource for important dates throughout the academic year, including the start and end of classes, registration deadlines, examinations, breaks, university closures, and commencement. Students should review it regularly to stay on track with academic requirements, while faculty and staff can use it to plan instruction, advising, campus services, and other university activities.
