Important Notes Regarding the Academic Calendar

  1. Each program has its own calendar which you can consult for specific information regarding the dates for the start and end of each semester, examination periods, deadlines for adding or dropping courses, periods of clinical rotations, dates for winter breaks, and/or specifics of Spring Breaks and perhaps other variations in the calendar for that program. Please note that the school buildings close at 3 pm on Fridays and are closed on all Saturdays.
  2. Students are re-registered for each new semester. This procedure does not imply either academic or financial eligibility for registration.
  3. In special circumstances Students who fail to qualify for registration during regular registration dates are subject to late registration, within the late registration period may be given permission to attend classes prior to being registered registering does not imply the right to be registered nor to receive academic credit.
  4. “College & Clinic closed” does not refer to the status of clinical rotations at hospitals. Students are responsible for attending all rotations at off-campus facilities regardless of closures of NYCPM and FCNY.
  5. Study/retest periods often (not always) coincide or overlap with class recess dates for those students who do not need to retest.
  6. Final exam periods may not apply to all courses; finals for certain courses are scheduled earlier or later, as published in class schedules and syllabi, with retest periods scheduled accordingly. Always consult syllabi and class schedules regarding exams and retest dates.
