Eight weeks vs two months
Eight weeks is 56 days, while two calendar months are 59 to 62 days. So "8 weeks" ends three to six days before the same date two months on. Eight weeks from August 30, 2027 is October 25; two months is October 30. When a plan, a lease or a lead time says weeks, count weeks.
Accelerated 8-week terms
Many colleges split a semester into two accelerated eight-week terms, and plenty of online programs run in eight-week blocks. If a term starts on Monday, August 30, 2027, eight weeks later is Monday, October 25, 2027, so the term would finish the day before, on Sunday, October 24, with the next one starting that Monday. Your school's academic calendar sets the real dates, including any breaks.
Business days in 8 weeks

Columbus Day is a federal holiday, but many private employers and some schools stay open, so pick the calendar that matches yours, or "Weekends only" if your workplace doesn't close.
