Academic Calendar

Ross University School of Medicine is dedicated to providing students with the educational opportunity to accelerate their professional careers. Our school year is divided into three academic semesters each calendar year. This allows students to enroll into any of the three semesters without waiting for a new academic year.

The terms correspond to the following months:

  • Fall term is September–December.
  • Spring term is January–April.
  • Summer term is May–August.

Students checking in late may be subject to a late fee of $100 per day. No student may check-in after the first week of classes. Students who do not check-in on campus will be administratively withdrawn from Ross University.
