Abstract	The faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh established a new structure for integrating a flexible calendar within the traditional semester. The new Calendar divides the fall and spring semester into 7-7-3 week modules and the summer semester into two 4-week modules. The Calendar's major purposes are to encourage curriculum innovation and faculty development, attract new learners, and increase alternatives for continuing students. The framework for the Calendar was developed by thirteen special Calendar committees involving over 100 faculty, students, and administrators. The committees dealt with concerns such as budget, faculty development, student progress, faculty responsibility, curriculum, scheduling, administration, public relations, new learners, new students, academic policies, and evaluation. The new Calendar includes such innovations as self-paced, autotutorial instruction, computer-monitored instruction, programs for adult learners; and programs offered in public libraries that are being primarily funded by base reallocation. In addition, the two-year calendar experiment has incorporated a comprehensive evaluation program that uses national and local instruments to assess changes in students, faculty, and administrators' attitudes about the calendar.
