2011/2012 Academic Calendar…
5 Monday Labor Day
6 Tuesday Orientation begins
10 Saturday Residence Halls open for Returning Students (9:00 a.m.)
11 Sunday Convocation
12 Monday Fall term classes begin (8:00 a.m.)

Which is a week later than what has been customary. I imagine international students come the same time new freshman arrive on the 6th. Still curious as to why…
