*The spring 2023 academic calendar was updated by the Board of Regents on April 8, 2022 to include a three-week "Pre-Session" January 3-20, 2023. Regular spring semester courses will begin January 23, 2023, and the last day of final exams will be May 19, 2023. Faculty with academic year (AY) contracts are traditionally required to report for duty one week prior to the start of classes and to remain one week after finals week to allow for grading and end-of-year meetings. To facilitate this without requiring an additional two weeks of work from academic year employees, working days for academic year employees for the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year will be effectively shifted by two weeks: although the first working day following the New Year's holiday (as defined by the President) will be January 2, 2023, academic year employees will not be expected to resume their contracts following the New Year's holiday until January 16, 2023 (effectively January 17, 2023 since January 16 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day) and will be expected to continue their work through May 26, 2023. Original spring 2023 contract dates prior to the BOR update were January 2, 2023 through May 12, 2023.
**Adjustments to the 2023-24 academic calendar were accepted by the Board of Regents on September 30, 2022. They include 15-week fall and spring semesters with a three-week "Pre-Session" January 2-19, 2024. Regular spring semester courses will begin January 22, 2024, and the last day of final exams will be May 17, 2024.
