Question:
When do classes start at the University of Arizona Global Campus?
Answer:
The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) operates on a continuous (also known as non-term) academic calendar rather than traditional semesters or quarters. According to UAGC's 2021-22 academic catalog, UAGC students "typically take one course at a time and move to the next course in the program sequence without a break." However, there is an annual two-week break in winter from the end of December through the beginning of January when courses are not scheduled.
Students typically take 2 classes at a time and start their program during one of the following start dates:
- Early August
- Mid-October
- Early January
- Mid-March
- Late May
Undergraduate (bachelor's degree) courses are typically about 5 weeks long. Graduate (master's degree) courses are typically about 6 weeks long. Doctoral courses are typically 6 or 9 weeks long.
The University of Arizona Global Campus is regionally-accredited by WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
