Share

The FIU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 schedule contains all the essential dates from application and enrollment deadlines, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop periods to university holidays and final exam schedules.

Florida International University operates on two main 16‑week semesters…Fall (August – December) and Spring (January – April). Each comprises roughly 14 weeks of instruction plus a finals week.

The Summer term is split into three sessions for added flexibility: Session A (6 weeks), Session B (6 weeks), and Session C (12 weeks), each with its own add/drop and fee deadlines (Session C runs May – July).

Whether you’re planning a full‑semester course load or accelerating your studies in a Summer session, the FIU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 is your definitive guide to staying on track academically and financially at FIU.
