Academic Calendar dates are subject to change. Please check CampusNet for the most up to date information about specific course dates. Courses scheduled outside of the traditional semester schedule are indicated in CampusNet as ALT(alternative) session courses. Add/drop/withdrawal deadlines for ALT courses are adjusted according to the length of the session. 
 
The University is closed on University Holidays unless otherwise noted above. The only time Saturday classes are not held in observance of a holiday is for the Thanksgiving Recess, unless the actual holiday falls on a Saturday.
 
Spring 2024

In light of the weather disruption to campus services, the University is extending the deadline to join a waitlist / drop or add courses to provide students with the opportunity to discuss any changes to their course schedule with their academic advisor prior to taking action. Students will have until Monday, January 22, to receive a full refund for a dropped course and to join a course waitlist.

Students will be able to add courses via CampusNet through Tuesday, January 23.
