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.
