(1) There will be 15 weeks (including final exam week) in both the regular Fall and Spring semesters of the general academic calendar. To make up for missed classes due to holidays, changes were made to be sure that Monday classes have 15 meeting days. Starting in the Spring 2012 all semesters will begin on a Friday. That first Friday will follow the MONDAY schedule for the term and will be a day to make-up classes (in advance) missed on Labor Day in the Fall and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the Spring. Note: There will only be 14 Saturday class meetings, but these classes will be extended to meet federal requirements. In January 2013, Saturday classes will begin on January 12, 2013. There will be no classes on Saturday January 19, 2013 in honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
(2) Friday, January 11, 2013 is a make-up day for classes to be missed on Monday January 21, 2013; Regular Friday classes begin January 18, 2013.
Certain colleges and areas of study, such as the College of Pharmacy, the Bachelor of Liberal Studies and the Bachelor of Professional Studies, may have different calendars based on their unique needs.
