Fall break dates vary by school and district, but generally in the United States fall break is typically in October.
- For example, the University of North Carolina's fall break for 2025 is Thursday, October 16 and Friday, October 17.
- Syracuse University's fall break in 2025 falls on Monday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 14.
- Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools have fall break on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
- University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has a fall quarter starting late September and doesn't specify a week-long fall break but does have holidays in November.
So, the most common timing for fall break in many schools and universities is mid-October, typically lasting 1-2 days or sometimes a full week depending on the institution.
