Baruch Academic Calendar 2025‑2026: Important Dates

The Baruch Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 is your go‑to resource for every pivotal deadline…from Baruch enrollment dates, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop windows to university holidays and final exam schedules.

Baruch College follows a traditional semester system:

• Fall Semester (late August to mid‑December; 14 instructional weeks + 1 finals week) – so if you’re wondering how long a semester is at Baruch, expect about 15 weeks of classes and exams.
• Spring Semester (mid‑January to early May; 14 instructional weeks + 1 finals week) – with add/drop typically closing in the second week of classes and Spring Break falling in late March.
• Summer Session (May through August), split into Session I (5 weeks) and Session II (6 weeks), plus a full 12‑week session for accelerated or makeup courses.

Whether you need to know when to pick your Fall timetable at Baruch, how to avoid late‑fee penalties on Baruch tuition payments, or when Summer Session courses begin and end, the Baruch College Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 has all the dates you need to chart a successful year in Marxe Hall.
