# NYU Fall 2026 calendar
> Registrar dates for the Fall 2026 semester at NYU, including the fall break, legislative day, and the final examination period.
These are the university-wide NYU dates, which the engineering school follows rather than publishing its own. If you are registered at NJIT, use the [NJIT calendar](/courses/njit-calendar) instead, because the two terms start on different days and break in different weeks.
## Term
| Date | Event |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Wednesday, September 2 | Fall semester classes begin |
| Monday, September 7 | Labor Day, no classes scheduled |
| Monday, October 12 | Fall Break, no classes scheduled |
| Wednesday, October 14 | Legislative day, classes follow a Monday schedule |
| November 26 to 27 | Thanksgiving recess, no classes scheduled |
| Monday, December 14 | Fall semester classes end |
The legislative day is easy to miss. October 14 is a Wednesday that runs on a Monday schedule, which recovers the Monday lost to Fall Break two days earlier. If you have a Monday class, it meets that day; if you have a Wednesday class, it does not.
## Final examinations
| Date | Event |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| December 16 to 22 | University final examination period |
| **Friday, December 18** | **Introduction to AI final exam** (CS-GY 6613 A) |
The exam keeps the course's regular Friday slot. NYU does not publish reading days, so the last class on December 14 is followed by the exam period two days later.
December 18 is the date for this course only. If you take other courses at NYU, their exams can fall anywhere in the December 16 to 22 window, so check each one in Albert before booking travel.
## Registration deadlines
Add/drop and withdrawal deadlines are not published in the bulletin calendar. Look them up in the Office of the Registrar's academic calendar, which carries the operational dates, and confirm them in Albert.
## Week by week
Weeks run Monday to Sunday. Week 1 is short, since the term opens on a Wednesday. Your course's weekly study guide is numbered against this grid.
