Campus Academic Calendar Committee (CACC)

Charge

The Campus Academic Calendar Committee (CACC) shall develop a three-year projected Campus Academic Calendar that meets CSU requirements and, to the extent possible, the needs of the campus community with regard to student academic success and employment opportunities, feeder school academic calendars, campus community activities, holiday observances, and faculty and staffing considerations.

The Campus Academic Calendar Committee (CACC) shall provide input and feedback on all matters pertaining to the Academic Calendar.

In developing an Academic Calendar, the specific responsibilities of the Campus Academic Calendar Committee shall include, but not be limited to the following:

Review and provide feedback on calendar options that comply with Chancellor’s Office System wide Requirements and Academic Calendar Norms and Definitions regarding: minimum/maximum instructional days and academic workdays; year round operation; CSU pay-period certification requirements; CSU Enrollment Planning and Reporting requirements; and the impact on retirement and benefits. The calendar may also include dates, not required by the Chancellor’s Office, but useful to faculty and staff for planning purposes, e.g., grade due dates and summer and winter session dates.
  2. Consult, and obtain feedback from bodies such as the Academic Senate, Associated Students, Inc., Student Services, Staff Council, Athletics Department, Enrollment   Services, College of Continuing and Professional Education and other organizations with recurring campus activities, regarding calendar options.
