Semester Deadline Dates

What students should know about Semester Deadline Dates

It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of and meet Semester Deadline Dates. These dates affect fees, refunds, residency decisions, timelines for making registration changes, withdraw records, and grades. Finals Week, break periods, and holidays, are also noted here. Start, end, and semester deadline dates may vary and are shown by parts of term. College of Nursing and School of Law (Spring and Summer terms only) operate on different schedules, so their deadline dates are different from those for Main Campus. If you have questions about which Semester Deadline Dates apply to you, please check your course schedule and reach out to your Advisor, or call us at (505) 277-8900.
