UNO Academic Calendar 2023-2024

UNO Academic Calendar – See the official University of New Orleans academic calendar showing important dates, academic events, and deadlines.

The University of New Orleans provides detailed academic calendars to assist students, faculty, and staff in planning and organizing the key dates and deadlines for each semester and academic term. The calendars outline significant milestones in the academic year related to registration, enrollment, exams, grades, and program completion in an easy-to-use format spanning multiple semesters.

The fall, spring, and summer semesters at UNO follow predictable schedules from year to year, allowing the university community to anticipate and prepare for important events well in advance. The calendars include specifics on beginning and end-of-term appointments for full and part-time academics, course visibility in the online Moodle system, deadlines pertaining to schedule adjustments, registration status changes, withdrawals, refunds, and final exam periods. Holiday closures and graduations ceremonies are also clearly indicated.

Separate winter and spring academic sessions with distinct calendars are offered for flexibility in enrollment and to promote continued progress towards degree completion during what would normally be considered “time off”. The coded designation for automatic withdrawal simplifies tracking of enrollment changes, while tentative Conference finals and commencement ceremonies give graduations aspirational target dates to motivation persistence through program completion. Midterm grade checks, final conferral days, and last days to convert incomplete grades provide academic checkpoints to verify satisfactory progress is being made each term.
