Oregon State Academic Calendar 2023/2024
Oregon State Academic Calendar – The Oregon State University academic calendar provides critical dates, deadlines, and scheduling details for students, faculty, staff and administration. Following the calendar allows for cohesion in university operations and helps students properly enroll and fulfill requirements in their degree plans. The calendar is thoughtfully set each year by the Oregon State University Office of the Registrar.
Oregon State University divides the standard academic year into three primary semesters: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Each Fall and Spring semester lasts around 4 months, while the intensive Winter session spans less than 3 months. Key dates on the calendar include registration periods, start/end days for classes, university holidays, final exams, grade submission deadlines, and deadlines to apply for graduation.
There are also deadlines noted for important events like adding and dropping classes, withdrawing from classes or semesters entirely, and changing grading options. Students must pay close attention to deadlines tied to tuition refunds and impacts on their enrollment status or financial aid eligibility. Proper consultation and adherence to the academic calendar allows students and university constituents to meet their educational objectives.
