Academic Calendar: Dates and Deadlines
PLU’s current 4-1-4 calendar took effect in 1969-70. There are two terms of 15 weeks (including finals week) surrounding a month-long term in January (‘J-term’). The PLU Academic Calendar is approved by the Faculty Assembly each year. Graduate programs may follow a different academic calendar, especially in summer. Students must contact those programs for specific information. These calendars are for planning purposes only. Past academic calendars can be found in the corresponding year’s catalog.
