UA Academic Calendar 2026-2027

UA Academic Calendar 2026-2027

The University of Alabama (UA) Academic Calendar 2026-2027 provides students, faculty, and staff with important dates and deadlines for the upcoming academic year. UA operates on a semester system, including fall, spring, and summer terms, each with its own set of start and end dates, registration periods, and holiday breaks. The academic calendar helps students stay on track by outlining key deadlines for course registration, adding or dropping classes, withdrawing from courses, and submitting graduation applications.

For new and returning students, the calendar serves as a roadmap for planning the semester effectively. It highlights essential dates for midterm grading, final examinations, and commencement ceremonies. In addition to academic deadlines, the calendar also notes university holidays and study breaks, ensuring students and staff can plan around periods when offices and classes are closed.

Students can easily access the UA Academic Calendar 2026-2027 online through the University of Alabama’s official website. The calendar is available in a downloadable PDF format, making it simple to save or print for reference. By visiting the UA Registrar’s or Academic Affairs webpage, students can view all important academic dates for each term and download the calendar to keep a personal copy.
