UF Academic Calendar 2025-2026: Important Dates

The UF Academic Calendar 2025–2026 contains every important date from registration windows and add/drop deadlines to holidays, exam weeks, and commencement ceremonies.

The University of Florida (UF) utilizes a semester system for its academic calendar, not a quarter system. This structure divides the year into Fall, Spring, and Summer terms, with the primary semesters lasting approximately 15 weeks.

Prospective students often ask if it is easier to get into UF in the summer; while the acceptance rate varies by term, the Summer term is structured with distinct sessions, including the shorter Summer A and the full-length Summer C, which impacts how long a student’s first period at UF will be.

Current students, especially those involved in university-sponsored activities, must be aware of the 12-day rule at UF, which permits absence for up to 12 scholastic days per semester without penalty

Below are the important dates and deadlines on the UF academic calendar for Fall and Spring semesters.
