    Spring Calendar Updates

    • The spring academic calendar below has been updated with new deadlines because classes are beginning the week of April 13, one week later than originally scheduled.
    • You can still register on MyPortal through Sunday, April 12. After that, you will need to email the instructor to get an add code.
    • You may still see some of the old dates in our registration system – for example, some classes may still be listed as starting April 6 – because we may not be able to adjust all the dates in the system.
