The academic year consists of two semesters of approximately fifteen weeks each. The fall semester begins in late August and ends by mid-December. The spring semester begins in January and ends with commencement in early May.

There are two sessions during the summer. The first session begins in mid-May and runs through early July. The second session begins the first week of July and runs through late August. Sessions of varying length for defined audiences are also scheduled during the summer.

Every effort has been made to make the academic calendars as accurate as possible. However, the important dates and deadlines are subject to change at any time. Should changes be necessary, appropriate notice will be given.
