Benefits to Â鶹Éçmadou

Enhances flexibility to scale and respond to market and other external influences.

The key features of the new 'flex-semester' calendar include:
- Two semesters, each with 12 weeks of teaching with a mid-semester breakÂ
- Two optional six-week summer and winter terms are available for short or intensive course Â
- Alignment with our hexamester offering, which consists of six teaching periods per year, to expand our lifelong learning offering and introduce options to leverage this calendar more broadly in the future.
*All calendar features subject to change based on consultations
Project timeline
To ensure a smooth transition to the flex-semester calendar in 2028, the project team will work with teams across the University to understand where transition support and adjustments are required.
