About the Academic Calendar
University Registrar - University Registrar
The annual academic calendar is prepared in accordance with the calendar issued by the Commission on Higher Education. The framework of the school calendar, including major activities of the State College, is approved by the Academic Council and details thereof shall be prepared by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and other offices concerned.
The Academic Year is divided into two semesters of at least 18 weeks or 54 semester hours, inclusive of class days and final examination periods. A summer session of six weeks, which is equivalent to one semester, follows the second semester.
All academic units of the State College (now the Caraga State University) operate by the semestral system. Unless otherwise provided, the first semester commences in June, the second semester in November, and the summer session in April.
In addition to the national and regional legal holidays, the State College (now the Caraga State University) also observes its Charter Day every November 11th (now December 16th) and its Proclamation Anniversary every February 14th of the year. Graduation days are treated as special holidays.
Make up classes are held in lieu of class hours lost due to fortuitous events, such as typhoons and earthquakes.
