Academic Calendar
The current academic calendar for Fall 2023-Spring 2024 Academic Calendar, was set in coordination with the UA Common Calendar dates established by UA Statewide.
If you have any questions pertaining to the academic calendar, please feel free to contact the Provost's Office at 786-1050.
For reference, past academic calendars are available below:
- Curriculum, Assessment Plans, and Academic Policy
Curriculum, Assessment Plans, and Academic Policy Deadlines
These are deadlines for submission to Governance. Please keep in mind that all appropriate department and college level approvals must be obtained before the below deadlines. The curriculum deadlines do not guarantee inclusion in the next UAA schedule and/or catalog, as this will depend on the workload of the different review bodies. For this reason, we encourage you to submit documents earlier than the final deadlines.
September 15
Course Changes to Teach New Version in Following Fall - Due to Governance using CIM system
This is not a new deadline. After this deadline, programs may request fall implementation, which will require additional work on the schedule.
October 15
Deadline for items requiring Board of Regents approval for following fall implementation
New Program Proposals - Program catalog copy, any new or changed courses that go along with the program, and the assessment plan for the new program are due to Governance using CIM system. Programs are encouraged to consolidate assessment plans for like programs. If the new program is stackable with an existing program, consider revising the current assessment plan to include the new program rather than creating a separate plan for the new program. (The sample plan [i.e., course sequencing document] is also due; please contact Academic Affairs for that process.)
Academic Program Name Changes - Memo stating the current program name, the proposed program name, and the rationale for the change due to Governance
