Re: 2003-04 Calendar
I am very pleased to be able to provide to you the recently amended calendar for the 2003-04 academic year. The modified calendar, which can be found at http://reg.ucsc.edu/calendar/2003_04.html, is the result of careful consideration by the Committee on Educational Policy, and other key participants in our campus community. It has been approved by Campus Provost Simpson.
The three primary changes are:
* In Fall 2003, classes begin on Thursday, September 25, rather than Wednesday, September 24, thus restoring valuable orientation time especially important for placing first-year students in appropriate writing classes.
* In Winter 2004, instruction begins on Monday, January 5, rather than Tuesday, January 6, and the advising day is eliminated, thus making it possible for classes to end on Friday, March 12, rather than Tuesday, March 16. As a result, there is no need for final exams to be scheduled on Saturday, and the quarter ends on Thursday, March 18, rather than Sunday, March 21, allowing for a spring break that includes a full week with two weekends.
* In Spring 2004, instruction begins on Monday, March 29, rather than Tuesday, March 30, thereby restoring the required day of instruction lost by starting classes a day later in the fall.
This modified calendar, dated November 22, 2002, is to be considered as final, and may be distributed as needed. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions (ext. 9-5779 or kmbrowne@ucsc.edu).
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Browne
