Spring 2026 daily schedule changes

Starting in spring 2026, UGA will implement a new class schedule designed to improve consistency and reduce conflicts for students and faculty. The semester begins on Monday, Jan. 12, and classes will now follow new time formats including 55-minute sessions on MWF and 80-minute sessions for MW, WF, and TR courses. This change aims to create more uniform start and end times across campus. Classes will also begin later in the morning, with start times for 55-minute blocks on MWF beginning at 8:40 a.m. and 80-minute blocks beginning at 8:15 a.m. Class start times can be found on the Office of the Registrar website.

Spring 2026 drop/add runs through Friday, Jan. 16, and the first major break comes with spring break from March 9-13. Classes resume on Monday, March 16, and the semester concludes on Monday, April 27, followed by exams through Tuesday, May 5. Commencement ceremonies will take place May 7-8, marking the end of the first term on the new schedule.
