Important Dates – Spring 2026

The UNE campus was cold and quiet over the break without the usual energy that comes with the presence of your students. They’ve been greatly missed, and we’re excited to have them back on campus.

For the families of our graduating students, this semester will be especially meaningful. Time truly flies, as your student prepares to take their next big step. To that end, it’s important to note that graduation applications are due by January 30. Your student will have received communication from the Registrar’s Office with instructions on how to complete this process. If upon speaking to your student they suggest they haven’t received this information, it’s important to direct them to this page on the Registrar’s website.

For students who are still working towards their degrees and need more than a semester to get there, our team in the Office of Academic and Career Advising encourages students to begin meeting with their advisor as early as mid-February through March.

Below is a list of additional dates that are helpful for you to be aware of as you support your student.
