Understanding Semesters, Parts of Term and Deadlines
The University of Michigan-Flint has three semesters
- Winter (January to April)
- Summer (May to August)
- Fall (August to December)
Part of Term
Within each semester, there are multiple “Parts of Term” that vary in length and have specific deadlines. Courses may be offered in 14-, 10-, or 7-week formats and are identified by their start and end dates.
Drop a Class
Students may drop an individual class within the drop deadline of the part of term they are registered for. See the Academic Calendar for deadline dates below.
Withdrawal from the Semester
Withdrawal is the term used for the process of dropping all classes across all parts of term for a given semester. Students may withdraw from the semester until the final drop deadline. Once a course has received any grade, students are no longer eligible to withdraw from the semester. See the Academic Calendar for deadline dates below.
