School Year Summary

See an overview of each academic year’s calendar. Notes on calendar logic at Chicago State University:

The academic year is composed of two equal 16-week semesters (Fall & Spring) and a 10-Week Summer session.
Intersession is a 4-week semester housed under the Spring term. Intersession always starts the Wednesday after grades are due in the Fall.
The 12-week sessions in Fall and Spring are always scheduled the 4^th Monday of the term.
Spring Break is scheduled between the 1^st & 2^nd 8-week parts of term.
Fall Semester starts the third Monday of August (unless Thanksgiving weekend would be the last day of classes, in which case the Fall term begins the fourth Monday of August).
Summer term begins the day after Memorial Day.
Final grades are due in CSU X-Press the Tuesday after final exam week.
Commencement is the Thursday before the term ends. There are no Summer or Fall Commencement ceremonies.
All terms end on a Friday.
