UNF Academic Calendar 2026‑2027: Important Dates

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

The University of North Florida academic calendar helps Ospreys lock in UNF term dates, navigate the UNF exam schedule, track UNF registration deadlines, and never miss the last day to withdraw without a “W”, ensuring seamless academic and financial planning at UNF.

UNF operates on a traditional semester system with flexible summer offerings:

• Fall Semester: A 15‑week term (14 instructional weeks + one finals week), kicking off in late August and wrapping up in early December, complete with a mid‑semester recess.
• Spring Semester: Mirrors Fall with 15 weeks of instruction plus finals, beginning after Martin Luther King Jr. Day and concluding in early May with a mid‑semester Spring Break.
• Summer Sessions: Choose from Summer A (6 weeks), the Full Summer Session (12 weeks), or Summer B (6 weeks), each with its own registration, add/drop, and fee‑payment deadlines to catch up, accelerate progress, or lighten your regular‑term load.

Keep the UNF Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 front and center so you can focus on thriving both in the classroom at the John E. Caged Fine Arts Center and across the scenic Jacksonville campus.
