UVU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026: Important Dates

The UVU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 is your definitive guide to every critical date and deadline from UVU enrollment and registration windows, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop periods to campus holidays and final exam schedules.

By consulting the Utah Valley University academic calendar, Wolverines can lock in UVU term dates, navigate the UVU exam schedule, monitor UVU registration deadlines, and never miss the last day to withdraw without a “W”, ensuring smooth academic and financial planning at UVU.

Utah Valley University operates on a traditional semester system with flexible Summer options:

• Fall Semester: A full, 16‑week term (15 instructional weeks + one finals week), beginning in late August and concluding in mid-December.
• Spring Semester: Mirrors Fall with 16 weeks of instruction plus finals, kicking off in mid-January and wrapping up in early May, complete with mid‑semester Spring Break.
• Summer Sessions: Choose from Session A (5 weeks), Session B (5 weeks), or the Full Summer Session (12 weeks), each with its own registration, add/drop, and fee‑payment deadlines—ideal for catching up, accelerating your degree, or lightening your Fall/Spring load.

Keep the UVU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 front and center so you can focus on thriving both in the classroom and across the Orem campus.
