The University of Scranton’s schedule of instruction, outlining key dates for the academic year, including registration periods, class start and end dates, examination periods, breaks, and commencement, is a crucial resource for students, faculty, and staff. This schedule typically covers fall, spring, and summer semesters, providing a structured framework for the entire academic cycle. An example might include the start date for the fall semester or the deadline for submitting final grades.
