The Alfred University academic calendar consists of two 15-week semesters (inclusive of final exams), each with 75 scheduled class meeting days; one 12-week Summer Term (in 6 Sessions); and one 4- to 5-week term between semesters, called “Allen Term,” (Winter Term) in which short-term faculty-led travel courses and online courses are offered. During Fall and Spring semesters, some 2-credit courses are offered in a half-semester format, meeting only in A-Block (first half) or in B-Block (second half).
The Academic Calendars for 2025-26 and 2026-27
Fall and spring semesters end with a 1 week final exam period. Courses are assigned a 2 hour block for final exams, which does not always align with regular class times. Students should consult the final exam schedule and their course syllabi to identify when their final exams are scheduled. Students are expected to remain on campus through the end of their exams.
