How the academic year is divided
Pathify runs two full semesters. Fall 2026 begins on August 24 and ends with degree conferral on December 18. Spring 2027 begins on January 11 and ends with Commencement on May 15.
The dates below apply university-wide. Students registered at Riverbend, Northgate, Pathify Health and Pathify Online all follow the same term structure, which is what makes cross-campus registration workable.
Clinical and studio programs carry additional placement dates set by their school and not listed here.
