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

The Wesleyan Academic Calendar outlines important dates and deadlines for students, faculty, and staff. Following the calendar ensures the smooth functioning of the university across its fall, winter, spring and summer semesters.

The calendar begins in early July, with planning and registration for the upcoming fall semester. Key dates are specified for new student orientation, housing assignments, course registration, adding/dropping classes, examinations, and more. Holidays and school breaks are indicated. The calendar assists students in navigating their academic commitments.

For faculty and university administrators, the calendar denotes critical junctures for setting up curriculum, submitting grades, certifying graduates, and processing enrollments. The timeline facilitates coordination within and between different schools and departments. Requests for room changes, proposals for tutorials/theses, and decisions on academic honours are time-bound by the calendar.
