Nassau Community College Academic Calendar 2026-2027

Nassau Community College Academic Calendar 2026-2027 provides students, faculty, and campus staff with the essential roadmap for navigating registration deadlines, class schedules, exam periods, and official college holidays.

As one of the premier institutions within the State University of New York (SUNY) system, NCC structures its academic programming to support both full-time degree seekers and flexible part-time learners.

Whether you are planning your course load through the MyNCC portal, tracking drop/add deadlines, or preparing for graduation, staying up to date with the institutional calendar ensures you meet every key milestone throughout the full academic year.

Operating on a standard semester-based calendar, Nassau Community College features two main 15-to-16-week terms (Fall and Spring), complemented by an intensive January Winterim session and multiple accelerated Summer modules (Summer I, II, and III).

To accommodate diverse schedules, NCC also offers 7-to-8-week accelerated mini-sessions (1st Half and 2nd Half terms) and Late Start options within the regular Fall and Spring terms.

Full-time enrollment generally requires 12 to 18 credit hours per semester, helping students complete the standard 60 to 64 credits needed for an Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.

Planning for the Nassau Community College Fall 2026 term begins with course selection via the MyNCC Portal. The first day of classes at Nassau Community College for 2026 kicks off on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, immediately following the Labor Day holiday.

Throughout the autumn semester, students must keep track of the official Nassau Community College holiday schedule, which includes campus observances for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving Recess.

Late Start classes begin later in September, while 1st Half mini-session assessments transition into 2nd Half courses by late October.

Moving into the Nassau Community College academic calendar 2027 sequence, the brief Winterim term runs in early January, followed by the launch of Spring 2027 main sessions.
