2021-2022

Academic Calendar

 

  

Important- International students must remember that the seasons are opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. So, spring begins in September, summer in December, fall in March and winter in June. To avoid conflicts with the majority of the world's academic calendars, and because Antarctica is dark during most of the northern summer, UANT operates on a schedule mirroring that of the northern hemisphere. So, northern summers are time-off here as well. Our academic year starts in September and continues through the end of May. UANT operates on trimesters, meaning spring, winter and fall terms carry their own classes. A normal class is 12 weeks long, meaning 24 classes, with an additional two meetings, one in the 6th and one in the 12th week, when students take mid-term / final exams.
