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.
- Students would like the last day of final exams in Fall to be at least a week before Christmas.
- 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.
- 4 weeks of winter break between Fall and Spring semesters every year.
- 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.
- staring Spring Semester right after Martin Luther King Jr. Day every year. (
