Compared with this year
The 2027 calendar runs a little earlier than Fall 2026, whose full-semester finals are December 7 to 11 with the term officially ending Saturday, December 12, per UVU's Fall 2026 calendar. Fall break 2027 sits on almost the same days as this year's.
What isn't posted yet
UVU's future-semesters page doesn't list Fall 2027 registration dates, the last day to drop with a refund, the withdrawal deadline or a commencement entry. For a sense of how those deadlines work, our UVU Spring 2027 semester dates page lays out the full set for the January term, including the separate deadlines for first-block, second-block and weekend classes.
Planning around it
- Moving in: classes start on a Wednesday, so a lease that starts in mid-August gives you the weekend before to move. Our UVU student housing guide covers where to look.
- Fall break: our fall break, Thanksgiving and spring break comparison lines up UVU, BYU and Provo schools side by side.
- Getting to campus: see our UVU commuter guide.
