NOTE: Dates are organized chronologically based upon the current quarter, so some dates for future quarters may appear out of sequence.
NOTE: Some dates are based upon a number of calendar days as described in state law and may therefore fall on a weekend or holiday. For dates associated with self-service processes (tuition refund/dropping classes, withdrawal), the date will remain on the correct calendar day, including weekends and/or holidays. For dates associated with non-self-service processes (change audit/credit status, select S/U option), the date will be pushed to the next business day.
