Academic Calendar

All drop/withdrawal deadlines listed on the fall and spring Academic and Semester Calendars are based on a regular 16-week term. If your class is scheduled in a session that is less than 16 weeks, the deadlines are prorated. Check the calendar icon next to each class on your schedule in My ASU for the prorated drop/withdrawal deadline dates.

All dates are subject to change without notice. The University Registrar's Office publishes a more detailed calendar in Adobe PDF format.
