| 1 Approved by the Board of Trustees | 08-Mar-2007 : At the time this calendar was proposed and approved, the dates for the Fall 2008 UEA Convention were not yet set. UVU typically coordinates its Fall Break with these convention dates (if the convention is held during the first part of October). | ||

: Fall Break Holiday dates changed from 09-Oct-2008 - 10-Oct-2008 to 16-Oct-2008 - 17-Oct-2008 to match recently published UEA convention dates. Provo, Alpine and Nebo school districts will also be holding their Fall Breaks to include the UEA convention dates. 30-May-2008: Some Weekend class dates clarified to include Fridays for those weekend classes that meet on Fridays. |
