Academic Schedule

The Academic Schedule outlines important dates for the academic year, including:

  • start and end dates for the term;
  • add and drop deadlines for classes;
  • tuition and fee payment and refund dates;
  • withdrawal deadlines;
  • holidays and university closure dates;
  • and more!

Note: Class start and end dates may vary.  Check the specific dates for your classes in UR Self-Service under My Refund Schedule.

Students who have not formally withdrawn are registered students, liable for fees, and, if, at the end of the term, are still registered, assigned a failing grade of NP. Deadlines are effective at 11:59 p.m. in UR Self-Service on the stated day. In-person business hours are normally 8:30 a.m. to Noon; 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. For example, the deadline for dropping a class through an office is 4:30 p.m. on the stated day.
