Fordham 2024 Calendar.

The Fordham calendar has important dates and deadlines including holidays, commencement dates, move-in/move-out dates, add/drop dates and exam schedules.

Fordham University operates on a semester system except the Graduate School of Business Administration which operates on a trimester schedule.

The semester system divides the academic year into two equal parts of 14-16 weeks each. The fall semester begins in late August or early September, and the spring semester begins in January. 

The bachelor’s degree programs at Fordham College at Lincoln Center Hill are four-year, eight-semester programs. Degrees are awarded on the successful completion of a minimum of 36 courses of three or more credits each, and 124 credits, with a minimum cumulative index of 2.000, and completion of a major. 

It is expected that students will be in residence during the final semester in which they complete their degree. Students ordinarily take 20 courses (usually three credits) in their first and second years and 16 courses (usually four credits) in their third and fourth years.
