The Academic Year
Gannon University operates on a semester academic calendar. This plan divides the academic year into two four-month semesters. Typically, the fall semester begins late in August and ends before Christmas, and the spring semester begins in early January and ends with Commencement in early May. Some academic programs are active during the summer semester as well.
