About the College of Dentistry Calendars

Due to special scheduling considerations in the College of Dentistry special academic calendars may be adopted for the college. These calendars should conform with the University Academic Calendar as closely as possible.

The College of Dentistry academic calendars are developed by the college in collaboration with the Office of the University Registrar to ensure they comply with policies established by the Office of the Provost. All calendars are submitted to the Office of the Provost for consideration prior to being approved by the University President.
