Prospective veterinary students should refer to the current Arkansas State University Academic Calendar for a tentative 2026-2027 academic calendar. First-year DVM Orientation (mandatory) is tentatively scheduled for August 13th-15th, and 17th with the White Coat Ceremony occurring during orientation.
After a Letter of Reasonable Assurance is obtained, an academic calendar will be published that is specific for the DVM program. At the present time, it is anticipated this will align with the published A-State Academic Calendar.
