The term College Year is synonymous with the College Fiscal Year and represents a twelve (12) month period beginning September 1 and ending August 31 of the next calendar year.

学年分为秋季、春季和夏季三个学期。 Fall and spring semesters shall normally include 15 weeks of instruction and one week for final examinations or a total of 16 weeks instruction and examinations combined. Every fall semester will end before Christmas, but not later than December 23. Each of the two summer terms shall include no less than 5 ½ calendar weeks, including registration, instructions, and final examinations. Regardless of the number of weeks in any semester, including minimester, and first or second eight-week semesters, the College will ensure that sufficient clock hours of instruction are present to meet academic requirement for contact hour production.

According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, a public university or community, technical, or state college that begins its fall and spring semester and its first summer term within 7 days of the date set by the common calendar is in compliance with the common calendar and does not require a waiver.
