About this file
This is an Academic Calendar document for Bristol Community College, an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which relates to the college's Food Service and Vending Services contract opportunity (M-17-26). The calendar outlines the 2026-2027 academic year schedule across multiple term formats, including Full Term, First-Half Term, Flex Term, Second-Half Term, Wintersession, and Summer sessions. The Full Term for Fall 2026 begins September 8 and concludes December 21, with classes resuming November 30 after the Thanksgiving holiday. Spring 2027 operations run from January 25 through May 17, followed by Summer 2027 terms spanning June 7 through August 28. Key institutional dates include Indigenous Peoples Day (October 12), Veterans Day (November 11), Presidents' Day (February 15), and Patriots' Day (April 19), during which no classes are held. The calendar establishes critical administrative deadlines for enrollment verification, course additions and drops, withdrawal periods, grade submission, and registration windows for subsequent terms.
The calendar provides essential operational context for food service and vending operations at the college, indicating that dining and vending services must accommodate the institution's academic schedule and student population throughout multiple concurrent term offerings. The document demonstrates the college operates year-round with overlapping sessions, requiring food service providers to maintain consistent operations across varying student enrollment levels and campus activity patterns. The specified term dates and holiday closures establish the framework within which food service contractors must plan staffing, inventory management, and service delivery. No pricing, funding, set-aside information, or incumbent details are contained within this calendar document; this information would be found in the formal solicitation materials for contract M-17-26.
