Welcome back, the fall term is about to begin. I’d like to take this opportunity to share some important dates and deadlines set within the Academic Calendar that can have great impact on our students.

Important Academic Calendar Dates (the Academic Calendar is subject to change at any time by official action of the University):

  • Thursday, Aug. 24: Last day to get a 100% refund for dropping a class(es)
  • Friday, Aug, 25: Classes begin
  • Thursday, Aug. 31: Last day to add a class or swap a class. This is the date in which enrollment is captured for financial aid certification.
  • Thursday, Sept.14: Census date. Last day a student can drop on CUNYfirst without a “W” grade on the transcript

   Last day to register for an independent study course for the fall term

  • Sunday, Oct. 1: Last day for student to apply for Jan. 2024 graduation
  • Monday, Dec. 11: Last day of regularly scheduled classes

Last day a student can drop themselves from a class in CUNYfirst with a grade of W (which bears no impact to their GPA)

  • Tuesday-Wednesday, Dec. 12-13: Reading Days and Departmental Finals
  • Thursday-Wednesday, Dec, 12-20: Final Exam Period – details to be sent under separate cover

                                                 Dec. 12: Grade Rosters open

Lastly, as an early alert, grade rosters close on Wednesday, Dec. 27 at 11:59pm

Have a great semester.
