DePaul Academic Calendar 2023/2024
DePaul Academic Calendar – Founded in 1898, DePaul University is the largest Catholic university in the U.S. and private institution in Chicago. As an urban university focused on value and access, DePaul serves over 23,000 students across campuses in Chicago and other major cities. To empower student success, DePaul designs academic calendars detailing key events, deadlines, breaks, and more.
The calendar outlines critical dates across the 2023-2024 school year that students should note to stay on track. This includes beginnings and endings of quarters/sessions, registration deadlines, tuition due dates, withdrawal timelines, exam weeks, grade deadlines, and graduation events. Additionally, days/periods when the university is officially closed for breaks or holidays are marked.
The outlined terms are Autumn Quarter 2023, December Quarter/Graduate Intersession 2023, Winter Quarter 2024, Spring Quarter 2024, two summer sessions 2024 (5 weeks each), and a summer term 2024 (10 weeks). Within each term students will find milestones like last days to add/drop classes, apply for degree conferral, midterm and final exam schedules, and more. Taking note of these key dates for each academic period will ensure students capitalize on important deadlines.
Monitoring critical junctures around registration, tuition payments, class withdrawals, final exams, and grade submission will also help students actively progress. And remembering official university closure days for holidays, breaks, etc. will prevent missed commitments. Through carefully planning using the academic calendar, students can proactively align their schedules and obligations.
