By consulting the California State University, Long Beach academic calendar, Beach Campus students can lock in CSULB term dates, navigate the CSULB exam schedule, monitor CSULB registration deadlines, and never miss the last day to withdraw without a “W”, ensuring seamless academic and financial planning at CSULB.

CSULB follows a traditional semester system with flexible Summer Sessions:

• Fall Semester: A full 15‑week term (14 instructional weeks + one finals week), kicking off in late August and wrapping up before the winter recess.
• Spring Semester: Mirrors Fall with 15 weeks of instruction plus finals, beginning after Martin Luther King Jr. Day and concluding in early May with a mid‑semester Spring Break.
• Summer Sessions: Flexible modules, Session A (6 weeks), Full Summer Session (12 weeks), and Session B (6 weeks), each with its own registration, add/drop, and fee‑payment deadlines for accelerated study, catch‑up courses, or lighter regular‑term loads.
