An academic calendar is a well-organized schedule that covers all the important events and milestones throughout an academic year.
It includes things like exam dates, the much-anticipated spring break or reading week, and the last day of the semester.
Academic calendars can be presented in two ways: you can look at the details for each semester, or you can view the whole academic year in one calendar.
