RICE UNIVERSITY Academic calendar
Academic calendars are permitted by the Faculty Senate. In January 2008 meeting, Faculty Senate accepted a system of calendar generation based on formulas, number of days, etc. Beginning with the 2009-10 academic year, Rice’s academic calendar has followed this procedure.
