Academic Resources
Academic Calendar
Rollins offers several academic sessions within each academic term. Each of these sessions has specific add/drop/swap dates, lengths, and last days to withdraw.
Students can take classes in multiple sessions. Most commonly, traditional MPH and MSPH students take courses during the regular session, and they sometimes enroll in a half semester or pre-term session course.
