Why has the University examining the Academic Calendar?
The Academic Calendar plays a role in shaping our learning experiences for students. We are examining the calendar to ensure that the timing of quarters and breaks most effectively enhances student learning, decreases stress, and facilitates job and fellowship recruitment. We want to ensure that the calendar serves the changing demographics of our student body, including, for example, both domestic and international students who may find it difficult to travel home for holidays and other breaks. The Faculty Senate endorsed several changes to the calendar and the President and Provost have approved three changes (see below).The Academic Calendar Advisory Group met throughout 2018-2019 in order to advise the Provost and the University Registrar as the Registrar implements these changes.
-
How long are quarters currently?
Currently, Fall quarter is ten weeks and two days, excluding exams, and Winter and Spring quarters are nine weeks and three or four days, excluding exams. Federal regulations require a minimum of 30 weeks in session during the academic year, which can include instruction and evaluation periods
-
How long is the summer break and why?
Summer break is three months long. Many research grants require that faculty are available for research or other activities for the full three months.
-
Will the flexible exam arrangements apply to undergraduate courses only, or to graduate courses as well?
Exam flexibility is primarily intended for undergraduate students at this time; however, graduate programs and their students may choose to make use of flexibility options in the future and in special circumstances
-
What flexible final examination arrangements are being considered and why?
Proposals for final exam flexibility include early in-person exams, online monitored or proctored exams, and remote proctored exams.A coordinated and centrally administered process for declaring exam flexibility options, as well as systems to manage requests and to proctor exams, would remove the burden of logistics from the faculty and students who opt to use them.
