Academic & Class Meeting Calendars

Academic Calendars are completed 3 years in advance. The process for creating the next Academic Calendar in sequence begins in October of each year. The Vice President of Academic Affairs develops a calendar according to a process which includes mandates by the State -
  • entry dates for the beginning of each semester
  • number of days of instruction required
in addition to the requirements of PBCC's Faculty Agreement -
  • 4 days of non-instruction each fall and spring to include in-service days prior to fall and spring terms, Professional Development Days, and Commencements
  • A draft of the calendar is distributed via email to all college employees for review. Comments and suggestions from faculty and staff are considered before the final draft is submitted to the PBCC Board for approval, usually in January.
After the PBCC Board approves the calendar, it is submitted to the State (on or before March 15 each year) for approval. Although we have submitted calendars 3 years in advance, the State only considers approval of the calendar for the upcoming academic year.

A Class Meeting Calendar is then developed from the Academic Calendar. This is a detailed calendar and shows the class meetings for all days (including weekends) within each term. Express Terms and 12-week terms are also shown on this calendar. Please reference the Class Meeting Calendars to determine if there are classes scheduled on any given weekend.
