Calculation

Fall and Spring

The Census Date is the Sunday preceding the Monday that is two weeks from the Monday following the end of add-drop and late registration. Look at the date that's the end of add-drop; advance to the subsequent Monday; go forward two weeks (to another Monday); and then go back a day to Sunday.

Summer

The Census Date is the Sunday preceding the Monday that immediately follows the latest "Last day to withdraw with non-penalty W" date among the Summer sessions. This is normally in Summer 2. Find the "Last day to withdraw" dates in the Summer sessions; find which one is the latest in the year; go forward to the Monday that follows that date; and then go back a day to Sunday.

Before 2021

Before Fall 2021, the date was calculated differently.
