On Campus Undergraduate Academic Calendar 2025-2026

Hamline’s on campus undergraduate program follows a semester calendar with 15-week fall and spring semesters, and a 14-week summer session. During each of the 15-week fall and spring terms students normally take four 4-credit courses, completing 32 semester credits in the nine-month academic year. New students begin classes in either the fall or spring term. The calendar offers flexibility in curriculum planning and opens the way for students to combine a variety of off-campus experiences with classroom learning. 

Summer session is considered separate from the regular academic year. Summer session consists of a four-week May term, two four-week summer terms, and an overlapping ten-week term. Summer study at Hamline enables students to make up credits, accelerate progress toward their degrees, take courses that might be difficult to schedule in a regular term, or take advantage of reduced summer tuition. 

Online Bachelor’s Degree Completion Academic Calendar 2025-2026

Hamline’s online degree completion program courses are offered in eight-week sessions, two sessions each in fall, spring, and summer semesters. Students may take up to two four-credit courses in each eight-week session, and must take at least 12 credits within a 16-week semester to be considered full-time.
