Student-Centric Calendar

For future dates, visit chamberlain.edu/calendar

Chamberlain operates on a student-centric calendar. Each semester consists of 16 weeks of instruction and exams; classes are scheduled in two eight-week sessions each semester.

An individual student's calendar is based on the student's initial enrollment date into a degree seeking program or on the date studies are resumed following readmission to Chamberlain. This results in two overlapping calendars referred to as “cycles.” The two overlapping calendar cycles designate months corresponding to Chamberlain’s summer, fall and spring semesters. The following chart outlines how months of the year correspond to a student’s spring, summer and fall semesters, based on the assigned cycle. Each session ends on Saturday of week eight.
