Committee
May 6, 2015
For Discussion
TO: University Senate
FROM: Academic Support Services Committee
SUBJECT: Proposal for Unified Academic Calendar
Proposed:
The Academic Support Services Committee requests the Senate’s approval of the attached unified
calendar to allow for PUC and PNC to be on the same schedule prior to unification in 2016. The
attached calendar to approve is for academic years 2016-2017 through 2020-2021.
Rationale:
By our charge, this committee develops the five-year academic calendar from which the Office of the
Registrar publishes the campus calendar. The previous calendar was adopted with the understanding
that changes would be forthcoming as we approached unification.
We communicated with the calendar committee at PNC and came to an approach which would not only
synchronize our respective calendars, but also align with West Lafayette. The only change needed for
PUC was spring break. PNC made several changes and their calendar proposal was moved to action and
passed unanimously at their last Senate meeting. We also decided to include for reference the following
five years, showing a full ten years at a time.
