Academic Calender:
An academic year comprises of two regular semesters and a summer semester. Regular semesters are of nineteen week each and include sixteen weeks of teaching and three weeks of examinations, i.e. two weeks of sessional examination and one week of end semester examination. The summer semester is a concentrated period of study comprising of eight weeks. The schedule of the semesters for academic year 2009-10 is as follows:
Fall: 26 September - 18 February 2010
Spring: 1 March - 10 July 2010
Summer: 12 July - 17 September 2010
Academic Tutor
