Hi welcome to the Seton Hall Academic Calendar 2023-2024 page. Here we have listed all of the activities conducted by the school for you. Each academic calendar specifies the dates when students can sign up for, drop, or withdraw from classes. However, your primary motivation for using an academic calendar will be scheduling your time and practicing time management.
According to PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, academic calendars “are systems that academic institutions use to define the landmark dates driving much of their day-to-day business.” Colleges and universities establish calendar dates for payments and financial aid applications. These dates encompass critical information such as the first and last day of classes, holidays, and graduation commencements.
An academic calendar serves as a reminder of important events for students, instructors, and staff throughout the academic year and semester. It also benefits parents, alumni, and potential students.
Each educational institution creates its own academic calendar with specific dates. For example, one college might commence classes on August 30, while another begins on September 6. Nevertheless, these organizations may also follow similar schedules, such as observing holidays like Thanksgiving.
