Emory University Academic Calendar 2023-2024

Emory Academic Calendar – See the official Emory University academic calendar showing important dates, academic events, and deadlines.

Emory University publishes academic calendars each year to inform students and faculty of important dates and deadlines for the upcoming semesters and terms. The calendars provide a comprehensive overview of the key events, breaks, registration periods, and more that community members need to know as they plan their schedules.

The academic calendars outline all critical events and dates for Emory’s standard Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Each semester has distinct start and end points, holidays, intensive sessions, advising periods, withdrawal deadlines, final exam periods, and grade submission dates. The calendars highlight special events like convocations, recognition ceremonies, and commencement. They also note administrative dates such as census days and cross-registration deadlines. In addition to the major terms, Emory offers special intensive sessions in August, January, and May. These condensed formats allow students to take courses without committing to a full semester. All intensive sessions have their important dates for registrations, withdrawals, deadlines, and more.

By providing extensive detail about all academic terms, sessions, and significant events, Emory’s calendars give students and faculty the information they require to effectively register for classes, track deadlines, plan travel, coordinate projects and assignments, apply for graduation, and manage all other aspects of their academic lives. The calendars present each term’s critical dates in chronological order for easy reference. Community members can consult the calendars to ensure they comply with all academic policies and complete all term requirements.
