The academic schedule for the University of Portland covering the 2024-2025 period provides critical dates for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. This typically includes information on registration periods, class start and end dates, holidays, final exam schedules, commencement ceremonies, and other important deadlines relevant to students, faculty, and staff. An example of a key date would be the first day of classes for the fall semester.
Access to this schedule is essential for successful academic planning. It allows students to register for courses on time, arrange housing and travel, and manage their academic workload effectively. Faculty members use the schedule to prepare syllabi, schedule lectures and assignments, and plan for grading periods. Historically, academic calendars have evolved from simple printed documents to dynamic online resources that can be easily updated and accessed by the entire university community. This evolution reflects the increasing complexity of university operations and the need for clear and accessible information.
