Now students and candidates can check the UNR Academic Calendar 2026-2027 on this page. All information to guide you has been provided for you.
An academic calendar is essential for students, teachers, and staff. It’s like a reminder that shows all the important events and dates for the whole school year and each semester. It’s not just for them; it also helps parents, alumni (former students), and people who want to join the school. They all get useful information from it. What’s interesting is that each school makes its own academic calendar with lots of specific and carefully chosen dates.
The following academic calendar applies to the following programs only:
- Online Master of Social Work (MSW)
For the 16-week academic calendar, please refer to the Admissions and Records page.
NOTE: Calendar dates that include: Term A, Term B, 7W1, 7W2, or (MSW) refer to the Master of Social Work online program only.
