SB 1093 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: commencement of the fall semester at University of Wisconsin System institutions.

This bill would require the University of Wisconsin System to delay the start of fall semester classes until after September 1, with exceptions for medical school, graduate health science, and fourth-year veterinary medicine students. The change is made by amending state statutes to set a specific date for when regular classes can begin. It directly affects students, faculty, and administrators at UW System institutions by establishing a uniform start date for the fall term. The legislation does not address funding, staffing, or curriculum changes, focusing solely on the timing of the academic calendar.
