Summer Sessions

Does the Summer term lead or trail in the academic calendar?

The Summer term leads in the UC Berkeley academic calendar. For example, the 2024-25 academic year consists of Summer 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025.

Note that the Financial Aid Year treats Summer as a trailing term, however. For example, the 2024-25 financial aid year consists of Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025.
