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.
