The University of Arizona Academic Calendar 2023-2024 has been displayed on this page to help you know the various activities conducted by the school. Academic calendars serve as tools for defining the significant dates that shape much of the institution’s daily operations.
Each academic calendar includes deadlines for cancellation, withdrawal, and dropping classes, along with other significant dates that vary depending on the type of calendar.
It is important to consider how the dates on academic calendars impact all business operations, such as class registration, tuition reimbursements, and statistical reporting, when creating them.
