Academic Calendar

Statement of Policy

The BYU-Pathway Worldwide academic calendar is determined in coordination with BYU-Idaho and Ensign College. It includes simultaneous semester and 7-week block terms with standardized semester and term start and end dates. Semester and term administrative dates (e.g. drop deadline, withdraw deadline, or second block registration deadline) are set based on their respective timeframes. The calendar ensures consistency, with every block scheduled for a full 7 weeks, and every semester scheduled for a full 14 weeks.
