2023 – 2024 14-Week Session Calendar
The 14-Week Session Calendar applies to students in specific online graduate programs. For a program list or more information about the calendar, visit the main 14-week session page. If you are in one of the online programs following this alternative calendar and are dropping a course associated with your program, use the “Week Spans & Refund Schedule” below to determine the percentage of course tuition refunded to your student account.
While the tables below provide information about where online graduate students in these programs diverge from the traditional calendar, there are several instances where standard UNC calendars apply.
