NOTE #1: Except during Spring Break, once modular online classes begin, they run through the 8-week module without a break, regardless of the University Calendar. Full-semester online courses follow the on-ground schedule.
NOTE #2: All BU Online courses must be complete by midnight of the Saturday of the 8th week of a module or of Exam Week for full-semester classes.
Chat sessions may or may not be held on holidays (consult Instructor), but class assignments are ongoing.
DROP/WITHDRAW NOTE: For modular courses, the last day to drop a class with no record is BEFORE the first scheduled chat; the last day to withdraw with a “W” is before the 4th scheduled chat session. For semester-long courses, on-campus dates above apply.
MBA graduate program dates will vary slightly. MSW follows on-ground schedule; MSM follows online modular schedule.
