USF State Academic Calendar for 2026-2027 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.
Because dates are subject to change due to interdependence, below is the most up-to-the-minute edition maintained by the Office of the Registrar. Critical dates such as term start and end, registration periods and school holidays are updated when changes occur. Other deadlines for faculty, university administrators and staff are also included.
Academic Calendar Dates for 2024-25 and beyond are pending approval from the University Calendar Committee and the University Board of Trustees. Dates and times listed below are subject to change. Future dates will be posted as they are available.
