Note: Other calendar options may be available on a limited basis for certain specialized courses.
| 1Approved 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). |
| 2Revisions | 30-Nov-2007: 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. |
| 3No access to UVU computing resources. Contact the Information Technology Office with any questions. | Fall Break = Friday 5 pm - Sunday Thanksgiving Holiday = Wednesday 5 pm - Sunday President's Day Holiday = Friday 5 pm - Monday Spring Break = Thursday 5 pm - Sunday |
| 4Faculty Flex Days | October 16, November 26, March 18 These days are counted in the number of faculty contract days, but the faculty have the ability to take off those days if they choose. If they do take off some or all of those days, they must work an equivalent amount during other times not designated as part of their contract days (or use personal leave days). |
| 5Revisions | 11-Jan-2008: Sessions renumbered to match the session order used for Summer 2008. 30-May-2008: Change to weekend classes in Session IV. |
