* The spring 2022 academic calendar was updated by the Board of Regents on April 9, 2021 to include a two-week "Pre-Session" January 3-14, 2022. Regular spring semester courses will begin January 18, 2022, and the last day of final exams will be May 13, 2022. 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 week of work from academic year employees, working days for academic year employees for the 2021-2022 academic year will be effectively shifted by one week: although the first working day following the New Year's holiday (as defined by the President) will be January 3, 2022, academic year employees will not be expected to resume their contracts following the New Year's holiday until January 10, 2022 and will be expected to continue their work through May 20, 2022. Original spring 2022 contract dates prior to the BOR update were January 3, 2022 through May 13, 2022.
** 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.
