Numerous inquiries were
received by the Office of the Provost asking why the fall 2012 semester began on
a Tuesday rather than a Monday. As many people noted, there were several
inconveniences to starting on a Tuesday that could be eliminated by starting the
semester on a Monday.
After consultation with
faculty, students and administrators, I am pleased to inform you that the fall
2013 and fall 2014 academic calendars (http://www.gwu.edu/academic-calendar) have been revised so
that these semesters will begin on Monday, August 26, 2013 and Monday, August
25, 2014, respectively. The specific changes to the calendar for these semesters
are as follow:
