Academic
Standards and Calendar Committee
Report #2004-05-3
University Calendars for 2005-06
through 2010-11
The Academic Standards and Calendar Committee has reconsidered the
six-year calendar in response to issues raised this year about the
current (04-05) calendar. Among the concerns were the late date
(December 23rd) for the last day of final exams, Saturday exams this
spring, and the need for a snow make-up date for final exams in
December. In reconsideration, the committee also took the parameters
for the calendar specified in sections 8.60.10-40 of the UNIVERSITY
MANUAL.
The Academic Standards and Calendar Committee has included two
calendars in this report, one with equal-length semesters, the other,
using the pattern of longer spring semesters (unequal semesters).
Additional information is provided about the similarities and
differences between the two calendars, as well as the necessary
“hardships” associated with each because there are physical limitations
of time.
The Academic Standards and Calendar Committee recommends the
Faculty Senate approve the Equal Semesters Calendars
