As a decentralized University, there is not one single source of information about events on campus. Instead, there are many different types of calendars. For example:

• The Academic Calendar lists most of the major dates that affect the campus, including graduation, final exams, and vacations, but it does not include information about residence hall move-in, Parents Weekend, Homecoming, and other major events.
  
• The Student Registration Deadline Calendar lists important dates regarding adding and dropping courses.
  
• The Residence Hall Calendar is a list of important dates for students living in the residence halls, including move-in and move-out dates.
  
• The UM Events Database is an extensive listing of campus events, concerts, performances, speakers, and sporting events, but it does not list everything. Many activities/performances in the area that are not sponsored by University affiliates may or may not be listed.
  
• Varsity Athletic Schedules show both home and away games for all of the varsity sports teams. These schedules are usually not listed on the UM Events database, so be sure to check them separately for information on sporting events.
  

As a parent, all of these sites will provide you with general event information. If you know the name of an event you are interested in learning more about, you can type the name in the search field at the University's main gateway at http://www.umich.edu/ and you may find the information you are seeking.

Parents may find the calendar links above useful while your son or daughter attends the University of Michigan. Please note that all calendar information is subject to change.
