If a professional program cannot fit within the proposed solution, a recommendation of a subsequent task force, under a new project charter, will be the appropriate result of this project. It is assumed that the charge for this committee is to identify a university-wide academic calendar, and that the process is intended to create enough flexibility to meet program needs. Professional programs may need unique academic calendars.Research, faculty, and graduate contracts will be considered and may need to be adjusted or aligned with changes to the academic calendar.The Principles for the Development of the Academic Calenda r document and the university catalog will be updated based on approved changes.

The assumption is that any exceptions will be vetted and approved by them in order for us to proceed. THECB allows for some exceptions to THECB calendar policy.Consideration of requested changes to fall break (more or less time), school start dates (starting on a Monday), and minimum time to submit final grades (asking for a minimum of 72 hours after final exam to submit grades 96 hours are preferred).Creation of a calendar that provides opportunities for enhanced summer semester offerings.The review will result in a calendar that provides consistency of instruction days for each long semester(e.g., both fall and spring semesters will have the same number of instruction days and final exam periods).For example, creating 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week sub-terms, a May Term and a Winter Term to accommodate classes offered between our traditional 15-week semesters, etc. This framework should include the creation standardized sub-terms for each semester.

This includes faculty, students, academic advising, and administrative staff. The scope of this review will include significant input from faculty committees, including A5 – Faculty Welfare, C2 – University Academic Calendar, C4 – Education Policy, C11 – Research Policy Committee, and additional faculty committees, as well as a host of other undergraduate and graduate stakeholders across campus. Given the constraints of the changes necessary to comply with federal guidelines, faculty members will make up at least 50% of the steering committee, with the remaining members key university administrators and students. The final academic calendar resolution will be developed by the Faculty Council Executive Committee in conjunction with the C2 committee for Faculty Council vote.

A campus steering committee will review and identify the key components for a recommended academic calendar that meets university educational needs, supports immediate and long-term innovation, supports the university’s academic mission, while ensuring compliance with university guidelines and federal and state regulations. Since that last amendment in 2014, there have been changes to federal policy and changing needs by the university that warrant another review and are reflected in our project objectives. Amendments to this document are vetted and approved by the Faculty Council and its C2 University Academic Calendar Committee. In April 1975, University Council created a Principles for the Development of the Academic Calendar document that governs the creation of our academic calendar. Its creation follows federal, state, accreditation, The Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), and Faculty Council policies and is published each year in August. The university’s academic calendar is one of the foundational tools guiding the timelines for university operations. Faculty Council and Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost Background
