AY 2004-2005 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. Fall break is two days in October; 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.
