The College of Law operates on a different academic calendar than the university, with two regular academic semesters and one summer mini-semester each year. For this reason, law students are advised to consult this calendar rather than the university calendar. More detailed calendar information regarding registration, fee deadlines, etc., is provided preceding each academic term. Please contact the College of Law for more information.
