Academic Calendar
Important Dates
The full-time programs are generally divided into four 12-week terms. Note that during most breaks the school will still be open for business, but typically closed to all students during breaks, to allow for cleaning and equipment updates. Some instructors are available, but formal classes will not meet. Please mark these dates on your calendar. Full-time student schedules for 12-month programs are listed below by Fall or Spring intakes. Orientation for International Students commences on the Thursday before the listed Term 1 start date.
