Calendar Parameters
Fielding’s calendar is a calendar of three required terms per academic year. The academic year runs from September through August.
The following parameters apply to all programs on the academic calendar:
- Terms and modules will start on a weekday; e.g. Monday-Friday, but may not start on Fielding (national) holidays.
- For the Fall term, the term will end no later than December 23.
- Courses shorter or longer than the term may be authorized, subject to the approval of appropriate school and academic/administrative unit review committees.
- Face-to-face academic credit-bearing events must be scheduled within the academic term dates. Exceptions to the scheduling of credit-bearing/financial aid eligible events during any portion of the term break should be reviewed by the leaders of the Financial Aid and Registrar Offices and approved by the Provost or their designee.
-
Each week of the designated term shall include expectations of active engagement by the student in an instructional activity related to the student’s course of study. These activities include (but are not limited to):
- Attending a synchronous class, lecture, recitation, or field or laboratory activity, physically or online, where there is an opportunity for interaction between the instructor and students;
- Submitting an academic assignment;
- Taking an assessment or an exam;
- Participating in an interactive tutorial or webinar.
Please note: the definition of academic engagement may not include activities where a student may be present, but not academically engaged, such as:
- Logging into an online class or tutorial without any further participation;
- Participating in academic counseling or advising; or
- Participating in a student-organized study group.
Additional Parameters for Programs on a 15 week calendar:
- Each academic term will include a minimum of 15 weeks of instruction, ending with the grade deadline.
- There will be a dedicated assessment week prior to the grade deadline to support timely grade submission. The assessment week is designed to be a period of summative assessment where students have evidenced to the instructor/assessing faculty the applied knowledge accumulated through the term in the context of the course. The structure of that submission will differ from discipline to discipline and from course to course.
Additional Parameters for Programs Using Accelerated Modules:
- Accelerated modules must begin or end in alignment with the term start or end dates.
- Accelerated modules must be 49 days in length where possible and can begin on any day of the week, but may not start on Fielding (national) holidays.
- Module start and end dates within the larger term may not overlap.
- Grades are due at the conclusion of each module.
- All programs using the accelerated modules model must follow the same calendar.
Revisions of Calendars
The Senate Leadership Committee must approve all calendars and any subsequent revisions or exceptions.
