The Alfred University academic calendar consists of two 15-week semesters (inclusive of final exams), each with 75 scheduled class meeting days; one 12-week Summer Term (in 6 Sessions); and one 4- to 5-week term between semesters, called “Allen Term,” (Winter Term) in which short-term faculty-led travel courses and online courses are offered. During Fall and Spring semesters, some 2-credit courses are offered in a half-semester format, meeting only in A-Block (first half) or in B-Block (second half).
