MTSU Academic Calendar 2025-2026:

Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Academic Calendar Important Dates 2023-2024. After admitting students, all the faculties at Middle Tennessee State University usually make available certain pieces of information to all admitted students to ensure they have a smooth academic semester. One of these includes the full syllabus for the rest of the semester and then the very important dates within the semester.

These dates are important because they would inform the student about when it is possible to add certain courses to their studies when they can drop certain subjects, and when they can withdraw or even differ a particular course of study if they so wish. Herein is a list of these dates. All prospecting and future students are to note these dates.

As a rule and tradition of the school, these would also be found in the registration guide of the university supplied to students. This particular calendar is for the next two/three academic years ahead. i.e. 2023-2024.
