Academic Calendar

The academic year at UT Southwestern School of Health Professions consists of three sessions. Most commonly, clinical work is accomplished during the summer term, but some programs also schedule class work during that period.

The fall semester begins on the third or fourth Monday in August. The summer term begins on the third or fourth Monday or Tuesday in May. Because of their diversity, not all programs operate on the same calendar schedule, and the student is urged to become familiar with the dates for his or her program. Commencement is held in December.

The Office of the Registrar publishes a detailed academic calendar each August. The student is urged to refer to it for current information.
