Welcome to Fall 2026 Semester

Beginning this Fall 2026 Semester, Allen University classes will begin August 10^th and conclude November 21^st (before thanksgiving so students can travel home before Thanksgiving and not need to return for Final Exams).

Also, Allen will now offer a WINTER Session - 100% Online/Remote - to support student pathway progression and a need to improve a grade from the previous Fall semester or just get ahead.
