This schedule satisfies:
- Fall & Spring semesters shall have 15 weeks or 75-1=74 days of instruction. (The one day is Labor Day for Fall and MLK Day for Spring).
- Both semesters should have 4 days for final exams.
- VITAL issue: We have to count 39 weeks from the Monday following Commencement day backwards and that is the Monday that 9-mth faculty (whatever the code is) starts on their payroll.
- having a 2-day Fall break.
- having a full day (non-Saturday) of study day before Fall final exams
- We should allow 6 working days for New and Returning Faculty workshops & orientations, and a non-overlap 3 or 4 working days of New Student orientation BEFORE the first day of class in Fall semesters.
- Spring break during the Spring Semester starts at the end of the middle (8th week) of Spring Semester, ie. it falls on the 9th week of the semester.
- Staff (USA/TEAMSTERS/AFSCME/etc) has 7 observed holidays ; 4 floating holidays, 3 of these floating holidays have been set in this calendar while the 1 floating holiday is to be determined.
- Students would like the last day of final exams in Fall
to be at least a
week before Christmas.
Note that sometimes the last day of final exams could
be on Dec 18 or Dec 23.
- 4 weeks of winter break between Fall and Spring semesters every year. This is a consequence of the UMM's Assembly that wanted:
- the first day of class NOT earlier than the Monday prior to Labor Day
- 2 days of fall break in fall semestesr
- 1 full study day (non-Saturday) in fall semesters
- 4 weeks of winter break between Fall and Spring semesters every year. This is a consequence of the UMM's Assembly that wanted:
Please note that: Grades are due 72 hours after the final exams are given. Consequently, in some years, grades are due around Christmas time.
