Relay’s Academic Calendar for the 2065-2027 academic year can be found below. While Relay makes every effort to finalize the calendar prior to the academic year, please note that it is subject to change. Relay students will be notified of any changes via direct email.

 

Relay administrative staff are available Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, however, classes may operate during other times. A business day is defined as Monday through Friday, excluding days on which the institution is closed. If there is a religious or cultural holiday that you observe during which Relay is not currently closed, we encourage you to connect with your current faculty members and/or advisor to determine if accommodations can be made for you.
