Gatech Academic Calendar 2023/2024

Gatech Academic Calendar – The Georgia Institute of Technology, known as Georgia Tech, first opened its doors in 1888 as one of the earliest and most prestigious technological universities in the American South. Now over 130 years later, Georgia Tech enrolls over 30,000 students across six colleges focused on science, engineering, computing, business, design, and liberal arts. Georgia Tech follows an academic calendar with important dates and deadlines for students and faculty during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

The Georgia Tech academic calendar outlines significant events throughout the 2023-2024 academic year including registration periods, fee deadlines, withdrawals dates, holidays, final exams, and graduation. Key dates are provided for the traditional 15-week fall and spring terms. The calendar denotes the beginning and end of classes, exam preparation days, and grade submission deadlines. Dates for Georgia Tech’s Maymester, Early and Late Summer sessions are also highlighted for students seeking to earn credits and get ahead during the warmer months.

In addition to listing key academic dates across all semesters, the Georgia Tech calendar provides details on important administrative meetings. Specifically, it covers gathering times for the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and the Institute Graduate Curriculum Committee. These bodies review new programs and course proposals crucial for carrying out Georgia Tech’s academic mission. By detailing these meetings along with registration deadlines, recess days, and degree application timelines, the calendar allows all members of the Georgia Tech community to fully participate in the Institute’s governance.
