Udayton Academic Calendar 2023-2024

Udayton academic calendar – See the official University of Dayton academic calendar showing important dates, academic events, and deadlines.

The University of Dayton always provides its academic calendars well in advance to allow students, faculty, and staff to plan their year effectively. The calendar outlines important dates and deadlines for each academic term, including the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.

The Fall 2023 calendar guides the UDayton community through events kicking off the new school year such as Welcome Weekend and New Student Convocation. It establishes critical academic dates like the start of classes, add/drop deadlines, academic holidays, mid-term break, final exams week, and the date fall term grades are due. The deadlines help students manage their coursework load and complete assignments on time, while events like Family Weekend and Christmas on Campus foster community on campus.

The Spring 2024 semester similarly lists key dates for returning students while setting new deadlines for graduating students to apply for commencement. The Summer sessions outline more condensed academic terms packed into fewer weeks. With classes beginning as early as May and ending in August, students can continue pursuing credits over the break.
