Pomona College Academic Calendar 2026-2027: Important Dates

The Pomona College Academic Calendar 2026–2027 establishes two main 15-week semesters (14 weeks of instruction plus a multi-day final-exam period); Fall classes begin 31 August 2026, and Spring classes begin 19 January 2027.

Orientation and move-in occur the week before the Fall term. Students normally enroll in four courses per semester (16 semester hours), and all full-credit courses run for the full 15 weeks.

Key administrative cutoffs include Week-4 census/add deadlines (register or add courses to avoid fee liability), the Fall add deadline of 14 September 2026, and the voluntary withdrawal/credit/no-credit cutoff on 20 November 2026.

Final exams occupy the scheduled exam block at term end (a defined multi-day period); summer offerings are separate and follow their own short-term schedules.
