Tufts Academic Calendar 2022-2023

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

Tufts University follows a semester system. All undergraduates (except REAL students) are expected to carry a full course load, unless they have serious, documented health conditions (four to five courses per semester).

Tufts defines full-time status as taking at least 12 Semester-hour units (SHUs) per semester. You have the option of graduating or enrolling part-time in your final or penultimate semester after completing Tufts’ residency requirement of eight semesters of full-time study.
