How to do itverified summary

Open calendar.web.baylor.edu/academic-calendar. It loads the Baylor academic calendar app; use the "Academic Calendar" dropdown (Undergraduate / Graduate / Trimester / Law) and the "Academic Term" dropdown (Spring 2024 through Fall 2028), or the Previous Term / Next Term buttons, to pick your program and term. The URL is param-driven: the Undergraduate Fall 2026 view is ?calendar=351&category=936. Each event on the page (e.g. "Last day to drop without a W") links to a detail entry on academiccalendar.web.baylor.edu. The Office of the Registrar's hub at registrar.web.baylor.edu/courses-catalogs/baylors-academic-calendars links to these same calendars plus PDF versions.
