Why is the Academic Calendar important?
The Academic Calendar is an essential resource for students to plan the semester based on important due dates and mark down future dates in advance. 

The calendar includes important dates like the first and last day of school, the last day of add/drop, starting date for pre-registration, the deadline to apply for degrees, last day to Q-drop, breaks, holidays, reading days, finals, and more.

It is important to note that a lot of deadlines are 5 p.m., not the end of the day.
