Academic Calendar
From orientation to graduation, each school year brings a mix of the predictable and the new. There are few holidays, though the breaks at Thanksgiving, between semesters, and the Winter break in late February provide time for respite and extra studying.
Detailed class, mini-course, midterm and final exam schedules are available at the bottom of this page.
The academic calendars through the 2009-2010 academic year are as follows.
