(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 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 Higher Learning Commission (HLC) requirements.
(2) The only change to the Fall 2011 schedule from that published earlier is that classes will be held on Monday, November 21, 2011 during the week of Thanksgiving. Note: Beginning in Fall 2012, all future Thanksgiving breaks will be Monday through Sunday of Thanksgiving week.
(3) Friday, January 13, 2012 is a make-up day for classes to be missed on Monday January 16, 2012; Regular Friday classes begin January 20, 2012.
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.
