Academic Year
The American College follows the
American system of higher education. The academic year
consists of two main semesters: a Fall and Spring semester of
17 weeks duration (including holidays) each and a 61/2
week more intensive Summer session. Classes for the Fall
semester commence at the end of September or beginning of
October and classes for the Spring semester commence at the
end of January or beginning of February. Classes for the
Summer session commence at the beginning of June. Each
semester or session commences with the students registering
for a number of courses and ends with the examinations period
covering all of these courses. New students can join the
College in the Fall or Spring semester to study any of the
College’s programs of study or intensive non-credit English
language courses. New students may also join the College in
July for intensive non-credit English language courses. These
English language courses commence in July and end in
September.
The
academic calendar provides information on important dates in
an academic year, such as when semesters begin and end,
registration periods, examination weeks and holidays.
