Date Ranges
- A fiscal year (FY) is a one-year period used for financial reporting and budgeting that starts July 1st and ends June 30th of the following calendar year. For example, 2020-21 fiscal year date range reflects Summer II 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Summer I 2021.
- An academic year (AY) consists of sequential Fall, Spring, and Summer I, and Summer II terms. For example, 2020-21 academic year date range reflects Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Summer I 2021, and Summer II 2021.
- A calendar year (CY) is a one-year period starting January 1st and ending December 31st. For example, 2020 calendar year date range reflects Spring 2020, Summer I 2020, Summer II 2020, Fall 2020.
- For student metric purposes (e.g. Enrollment Profile Headcount), Fall is the Fall census snapshot, which is two weeks after the first day of classes. For employment metric purposes (e.g. Faculty Headcount), Fall is the October payroll snapshot, which is October 31st.
