AY 2006-2007 ACADEMIC CALENDAR

The academic calendar is divided into fall and spring semesters of approximately 15 weeks each and summer sessions of varying length. The last week of the fall and spring semesters is set aside for final examinations. If no final examination is given, the course will meet for a final class during the scheduled final examination period.
The holidays and vacations usually observed by the university are as follows: Labor Day; Thanksgiving (Wednesday–Sunday); Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day (included in the mid-year intersession break); Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; Inauguration Day (every four years); Memorial Day; and Independence Day. Spring break is the week following the spring semester midterm. Classes continue until 10:40 p.m. the evening before a holiday or vacation period.
