The Seattle University Academic Calendar determines when courses start and end and how long each semester lasts. It also shows holidays, final exams and other important dates. Students must understand the calendar in order to plan their academic career.
Overview Of Seattle University & Its Calendar

The university operates on a semester-based calendar. Each semester typically begins with orientation activities for new students followed by classes beginning in late August or early September and ending in mid-December for fall semester and mid-May for spring semester.
