A. Standard Calendar
The standard academic calendar of the Georgia Institute of Technology consists of fall and spring semesters and an accelerated summer session. Each semester normally includes approximately fifteen weeks of instruction plus one week of final examinations; the normal summer session includes approximately eleven weeks of instruction plus one week of final examinations. An "academic year" consists of the fall and spring semesters. "Term" may refer to either a semester or a summer session. The Office of the Registrar publishes the official calendar for each academic term.
Due to variations in the yearly calendar and the need to balance the dates of campus events, particularly in the fall semester, the registrar uses discretion, as appropriate, to set academic calendar dates such as fall recess, last day to withdraw from individual courses without penalty, and progress report grade due date. See Catalog regulation V. Grades and Scholastic Average for more information.
