SNHU Term Dates 2025‑2026: Academic Calendar Dates

The SNHU Term Dates 2025‑2026 bring together every start date, deadline, and term schedule you need, whether you’re studying online or on campus.

By consulting the Southern New Hampshire University academic calendar, learners can lock in:

• SNHU Online Term Dates: Six 8‑week terms for undergraduate programs and five 10‑week terms for graduate programs, so if you’re asking how long a term is at SNHU, expect either 8 or 10 weeks of instruction plus a short break between terms.
• SNHU Campus Semesters: Two full 16‑week semesters (Fall and Spring), matching traditional semester lengths, each with its own add/drop deadlines, recesses, and finals week.

You’ll also find:

• Enrollment & Registration Windows for both online and campus courses
• Tuition Payment Due Dates are tied to each term’s census date
• Course Add/Drop Periods and Last Day to Withdraw (“W” Grades)
• Campus Holidays (Labor Day, Thanksgiving Recess, MLK Jr. Day, Spring Break) and Final Exam Schedules
• International Student Deadlines for on‑campus ESL, EFL, and graduate programs.

Whether you’re mapping out an accelerated online degree starting any of six 8‑week terms or planning around a traditional Fall or Spring campus semester, the SNHU Academic Calendar 2025‑2026 keeps every date front and center so you can focus on learning on your time.
