LAGCC academic calendar 2026–2027 details the critical deadlines, session start dates, add/drop windows, and holiday breaks for students attending LaGuardia Community College.

Planning your academic pathway requires staying aligned with important dates across the fall, spring, and summer terms.

Whether you are a newly admitted student tracking the LaGuardia Community College Fall 2026 application deadline or a returning student scheduling courses through CUNYfirst, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to navigate the upcoming academic year smoothly.

Understanding the LaGuardia Community College calendar 2026–2027 requires knowing its unique “Enhanced Semester” structure.

Unlike traditional 15-week college calendars, LaGuardia operates on two 18-week semesters (Fall and Spring), each divided into a main 12-week session (Session I) followed immediately by an accelerated 6-week session (Session II).

Full-time status requires taking 12 to 18 credits per semester, which can be split across Session I and Session II to lighten course loads or accelerate degree progress toward the standard 60-credit associate degree.

In-state tuition is approximately $2,400 per semester for full-time matriculated students ($210 per credit part-time), while non-NY residents pay $320 per unit.

Navigating the LaGuardia academic calendar for the Fall 2026 term involves preparing for both the standard session and the accelerated late-fall module.

The LaGuardia Community College Fall 2026 start date typically launches in early September for the 12-week Session I, while Session II begins in December.

Students planning for the LaGuardia Community College Spring semester will follow a matching cycle, with Spring I starting in March and Spring II concluding in June.

This page provides an overview of essential term dates, holiday closures, examination periods, and registration schedules to help you plan your upcoming year at LaGuardia.
