3-Year Academic Calendar

The purpose of the three-year calendar is to provide academic dates for the University community of the most recent academic year, the current academic year and the upcoming two years. We hope this view will provide a useful resource to faculty and students for the purpose of planning ahead for classes in future terms.

This calendar is also aligned with our UHS sister institutions.
