From 2008 the UNSW academic year will be divided into three semesters - Summer Term U1 (8 teaching weeks), Semester 1 - T1 (12 teaching weeks) and Semester 2 - T2 (12 teaching weeks). Each Semester is divided into two teaching periods. There are short mid-semester breaks of approximately one week between each teaching period and a slightly longer break in the middle of the Summer Term over the Christmas and New Year period. There is a mid-year break of approximately 4 weeks in June/July and no teaching occurs in February.

If you are enrolled in external courses please check the timetable carefully as you may need to attend compulsory workshops on-campus for some of your courses. These are usually held one week before the commencment of the academic term. During this week you will obtain your textbooks and complete preliminary assignment reading and activities.

You should make sure you have a firm understanding with your employer that you will need time off to attend the relevant on-campus schools. Failure to attend may result in you failing the year. If circumstances such as illness or misadventure prevent you from attending, the reasons must be adequately documented and sent to the Course Convenor.
