Academic Calendar
2010-2012 Academic Calendar
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh calendar makes it possible for students to choose the type and length of course they prefer. The 17-week fall and spring semesters are divided into terms of 14, seven and three weeks. The majority of courses are offered during a 14-week period, but many are held for double hours during the first seven weeks and some for double hours during the second seven weeks. Intensive interim courses offered during the last three weeks are tuition-free to students enrolled for at least nine graduate credits during the 14-week semester. This calendar is designed to allow students more choice in selecting their schedules and opportunity to participate in new educational alternatives.
Among the special features incorporated into the UW Oshkosh calendar are:
1. Choices of courses offered for 14-, seven- or three-week periods within each total 17-week fall and spring semester.
2. Choices as to the number of courses to carry at any one time and still take a full load, during either a 14 week or full 17 week period.
3. Choices to begin and finish courses at different times during the year to conform to work schedules, vacation plans, field studies or other personal preferences.
4. Choices to carry a full load of 14 week or 14-plus seven week courses and to add three week courses enabling earlier graduation.
5. Choices to enroll in the summer in an eight-week session or either of two four-week sessions.
Important Graduate Program Deadlines
1. Apply for Admission to Candidacy between nine (9) and 21 credits.
2. Complete a graduation application by the end of the fourth week of the spring or fall semesters, or the end of the first week of the summer session, in which graduation is intended.
3. Register for the comprehensive examination (if required by the program) no later than the 10th day of the semester of graduation.
4. File thesis/clinical paper/field project/field report proposal by the middle of the term of the semester before the semester of graduation.
5. Obtain format approval of theses, clinical papers, field projects and field reports at least three weeks before the last day of the 14-week fall term for fall graduation, three weeks before the last day of the 14-week spring term for spring graduation, or three weeks before the last day of the second four-week summer term for summer graduation.
6. File final thesis/clinical paper/field project (if applicable to program) by end of the 14-week semester or by end of summer session of graduation.
NOTE: Registration for thesis, clinical paper, field project, field report and independent study are subject to the same add/drop dates as other courses as published in the semester schedule of classes.
