Changes for 2024
What Changes Can We Expect?
While the overall structure of the 2024 academic calendar is similar to previous years, there are a few notable changes to be aware of. One of the most significant changes is the start date for the fall quarter, which is slightly earlier than in previous years. This change was made to align the academic calendar with other schools in the California State University system.
How Will These Changes Affect Students?
For students, the earlier start date for the fall quarter may mean a shorter summer break. However, it also means that students will have more time to complete coursework before the winter holiday break. Additionally, the alignment with other schools in the CSU system may make it easier for students to transfer between schools or take courses at other campuses.
