Offering of a spring semester will depend on enrolment and budget. All dates listed for spring semester are tentative.
* Registration times are assigned according to registration order policy. New students are given registration times based on order of application. Times for students continuing from the previous semester will be set in March, May or November.
** Deadlines with respect to fees and course withdrawal may be changed; please see the Registration Guide and Timetable, published in March, May, and November for any revisions.
Note: Students should allow sufficient time to act prior to deadlines to ensure that they are not disappointed. Line-ups tend to be very long just before deadlines, and registration offices generally close at 4 p.m. Deadlines are in effect at midnight. If the office is closed the web access to the student record might be used. However, there is no assurance that it will be available.
Convocation
UCFV’s convocation ceremonies are held in the second week of June. The exact date, time, location, and format of each ceremony will be announced by the Convocation committee by the preceding November. Students must normally apply to graduate by April 1. Please note: There is now a $25 graduation fee.
