2023-2024 Academic Schedule
|
|
|
The Academic Schedule sets the start and end dates for all semester-based programs at Northern Lights College. Non-semester based programs start and end dates are established for each intake, and are defined in the College timetables.
Academic courses are normally Fall: Sep-Dec, Winter: Jan-Apr, Spring: May-Aug. The College also offers compressed courses in Intersession (May-Jun) and Summer session (Jul-Aug). Further, some programs, follow a 20-week term Fall: Sep-Jan, Winter: Feb-Jun.
While Northern Lights Colleges offers courses in the Spring semester (May, June, July and/or August), Spring is not a mandatory semester of attendance and non-enrolment would not normally be considered a leave from studies.
Dates are as approved by Education Council on October 23, 2019.
