Binghamton Academic Calendar 2025‑2026: Important Dates

The Binghamton Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 is your go‑to roadmap for everything from application and enrolment deadlines to tuition payment due dates, course add/drop periods, and final exam schedules.

With the Binghamton University academic calendar in hand, you’ll never lose track of key milestones, whether it’s the last day to register without penalty, the add/drop cutoff, or Reading Week in October.

Plus, all the important campus closures and holidays (like Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break) are marked, so you can plan your studies and your downtime without missing a beat.

Binghamton follows a traditional semester system, featuring two main terms: Fall (late August to mid‑December) and Spring (mid‑January to early May), each offering roughly 15 weeks of instruction followed by dedicated exam periods.

The calendar also outlines optional Winter Intersession courses in early January and multiple Summer Sessions (Session I and Session II) for accelerated study or make‑up classes.

Whether you’re syncing your Binghamton exam schedule, budgeting for semester fees, or carving out time for multimodal learning opportunities, the Binghamton academic calendar 2025‑2026 keeps all your important dates and deadlines so you can focus on what matters: succeeding at BU.
