2009 - 2010 Undergraduate Bulletin
University Calendar 2010–2011
| Note: This calendar is based on a 5-day work week during the summer terms. A shift to a 4-day work week during the summer, which would result in significant energy-cost savings for the University, would require necessary amendments to this calendar. Please return to this page after Feb. 18, 2011, for possible schedule changes relating to the Summer I and Summer II terms.*** | |
