The Registrar’s Office consults with units across campus to construct planning calendars. Please review the Planning Calendar Guidelines for detailed information on the process and the Instructional Year Calendar Report for a comprehensive history.
Each semester typically has 70 total instructional days (Monday through Friday), with 14 instructional days for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday). There are typically six final exam days per semester.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday (MWF) classes typically meet 42 times each semester. Monday and Wednesday (MW) classes, Wednesday and Friday (WF) classes, Tuesday and Thursday (TTH) classes and Saturday or Sunday (S/SU) classes typically meet 28 times.
Note: The Academic Calendar is subject to change at any time by official action of the University at Albany.
