Academic Calendar
DeVry delivers courses in a session format, with two eight-week sessions offered each semester. Months corresponding to DeVry’s summer, fall and spring semesters are designated in two overlapping calendar cycles. At the time a student initially starts courses, he/she is assigned to either a Cycle 1 or a Cycle 2 calendar schedule (see Student-Centric Period).
Note: The student-centric period calendar cycles begin with the July 2012 session. The May 2012 session dates are as follows:

The student-centric period (SCP) is defined as an academic semester consisting of any two consecutive sessions that begins when a student starts courses and that ends when time requirements for a semester have been fulfilled.
Two overlapping calendar cycles designate months corresponding to DeVry's summer, fall and spring semesters. At the time a student initially starts courses, he/she is assigned an SCP designator code of Cycle 1 or Cycle 2. The chart below outlines how months of the year correspond to a student's spring, summer and fall semesters, based on the assigned SCP cycle:
|

Certain processes are conducted on a session basis; others are conducted on a semester basis.
