Important Dates for Non-Degree Seeking Students

Note important academic calendar dates, including course start dates and when you must add, drop, or withdraw from coursework.

Academic Calendar

The Office of the Registrar maintains Ithaca College's academic calendar for every fall/spring semester and winter/spring sessions. Please review the calendar carefully to find important dates, including the first day of class or the last day to drop or withdraw from a class for example. Also please review the Office of Extended Studies (OES) calendar below for specific non-degree student dates. It is the responsibility of each non-degree seeking student to be aware of both calendars. If you have any questions regarding dates and deadlines, please reach out to us at oes@ithaca.edu
