From
The UNC Policy Manual, Section
400.1.6:
The University of North Carolina Academic Calendar
Academic Calendars will be structured to provide a
minimum of 75 class days per semester—excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays—for a minimum of 150
class days per academic year. The chancellor of the
constituent institutions shall submit to the president
by October 15 of each year copies of the calendars for
the subsequent academic year.
All UNC campuses must ensure that every course offered
for academic credit adheres to the standard of a minimum
of 750 scheduled minutes of instructional time or the
equivalent per credit hour. The time may include
required examination periods, but may not include study
days. In setting the academic calendar for each
semester, campuses may set holiday periods, study days,
and final examinations appropriate to accommodate the
scheduled classes. In no case may a campus set a
calendar that has optional final examinations if the
time is considered a part of the required minimum class
time.
