The annual calendar at BYU includes two semesters and two terms. Fall semester 2004
begins the first Tuesday in September and ends before the Christmas holidays. Winter
semester is from early January to late April. Spring and summer terms begin in late April
and late June, respectively. Registering for spring and summer terms allows students to
accelerate their progress in many degree programs.
