Academic Calendar
Manhattanville University operates on a semester system that includes required 15-week fall and spring terms, with optional winter and summer terms (though some programs may require summer enrollment). The Academic Calendar is created and maintained by the Registrar's Office, with essential dates (including term start/end dates, university holidays, and commencement ceremonies) vetted and approved by university administration.
The complete Academic Calendar for the current academic year and previous years may be found on the Registrar's website. Below is an overview of important dates for the 2026-2027 academic year.
