Introduction to University of Albany’s Academic Calendar 2023/2024
To create planning calendars, the Registrar’s Office collaborates with units across campus. Please see the Planning Calendar Guidelines for more details on the process, as well as the Instructional Year Calendar Report for a complete history. Each semester contains 70 total teaching days (Monday through Friday), with 14 instructional days per week (Monday through Sunday). Each semester, there are six final exam days. Classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (MWF) normally meet 42 times every semester. Classes on Mondays and Wednesdays (MW), Wednesdays and Fridays (WF), Tuesdays and Thursdays (TTH), and Saturdays and Sundays (S/SU) normally meet 28 times.
The Academic Calendar is subject to modification at any time by official University of Albany action.
Academic Calendar for Summer 2023
Final exams for Summer 2023 classes will be held during the last regularly scheduled meeting of the semester.
The official Summer 2023 degree conferral date is Saturday, August 12, 2023. The deadline for submitting dissertations and theses for Summer 2023 graduation is Tuesday, August 1, 2023. Once final grading is completed, degree clearance begins. However, it could take up to a month to post all degrees. When ordering transcripts and submitting degree verifications and/or state licencing applications, please keep this timeline in mind. Examine your unofficial transcript to see when your degree was granted.
