ERAU Academic Calendar 2026‑2027: Important Dates

The ERAU Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 is your essential roadmap for every critical deadline from enrollment and registration windows, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop periods to campus holidays and final exam schedules.

The ERAU academic calendar helps students at Daytona Beach, Prescott, Worldwide, and ERAU Asia Institute lock in ERAU term dates, track final exam periods, monitor add/drop and withdrawal deadlines, and stay ahead of Commencement planning, ensuring smooth academic and financial management across all campuses.

Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University operates on a traditional semester system:

• Fall Semester: A full, approximately 15-week term (including orientation, instructional weeks, study days, and finals) in both Daytona Beach and Prescott.
• Spring Semester: Mirrors Fall with 15 weeks of instruction plus finals and designated spring holidays, running through late April in Daytona Beach and Prescott.
• Summer Semesters: ERAU offers multiple sessions, Term A (early summer), Term B (mid-summer), and a Full Summer Term, each with its own start dates, holidays (e.g., Memorial Day, Independence Day, Juneteenth), registration windows, and finals schedules.

At ERAU Asia, programs run on a four‑intake quarterly calendar with October, January, April, and July entry terms each offering 9 to 10‑week sessions with clear add/drop and withdrawal deadlines aligned to major regional holidays.

Whether you’re enrolling in full-semester classes, catching up with an accelerated summer session, or beginning a Winter break intake overseas, the ERAU Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 keeps every date from the start of classes to Commencement right at your fingertips.
