The Academic Calendar
The Academic Calendar encompasses two semesters (fall and spring), approximately 15 weeks each, an intersession of approximately three weeks, and two summer terms, five weeks each. The University recognizes that there are other holidays, both secular and religious, that may be observed by individuals or groups on campus. Students who wish to observe such holidays must so inform their instructors within the first two weeks of each semester so that alternative arrangements convenient to both students and instructors can be made. The Exam/Assignment Policy can be found at http://ecampus.adelphi.edu/registrar/exampolicy.php
Intersession
The Adelphi University Intersession meets in the beginning of January. This intersession gives students an opportunity for non-traditional learning experiences including exploring art galleries or museums, intensive writing or language acquisition, and study abroad. While each course meets New York State regulations for instructional time, the various creative, enriching approaches imply great variability in meeting times and locations. Undergraduate students may register for only one course per Intersession. Intersession courses are considered a part of the spring semester and will be grouped with them on student transcripts. All relevant University fees will apply to intersession offerings.
Deadlines
Every semester students have sufficient opportunities to reconsider, for a period of time, their selection of courses. The academic calendar sets forth the specific deadlines for decisions about, and adjustments to, registration, adding and dropping courses, changing a grading option, and withdrawing from courses. Meeting academic deadlines is the student’s responsibility.
