Mizzou Academic Calendar 2023-2024 is here so that you know the various activities that will be going on in the school and even the non-academic activities.
The Academic Calendar is nothing other than the University’s official publication, and provides information about courses, programs, and graduation requirements, as well as UM and faculty/school-specific laws, regulations, and policies.
The Calendar serves as a guide for individuals who are considering or have already applied for admission to the University or college, as well as those who have registered for classes there.
It also serves as a reference for professors and students at the university. In essence, this Calendar outlines how the school plans to conduct itself throughout each academic year.

*Close of day is defined as including late afternoon and evening classes.
It is the policy of the University of Missouri-Columbia to respect the diversity of our students. The faculty is reminded that students might want to observe religious holidays and days of special commemoration and is encouraged to accommodate students who have a conflict with a class period, test or activity because of these obligations.
