Academic calendar and dates

UniSQ’s academic calendar is designed to make it easier for you to plan your degree around your work, family, and other commitments.

To stay organised, download the calendar that matches your program. Not sure which calendar your program is in? Go to the UniSQ Handbook and check the intake details for your program and courses, or contact iconnect.

At the bottom of the page, you can filter important dates by your study period.

Trimester Calendar

A study period of equal length occurring three times each year. Typically 14 weeks duration and includes a 1-week teaching recess, and a final assessment week.

Block calendar

A short 6-8 week study period that typically includes 6 weeks of teaching, an optional 7th week for assessment and a 1-week study break.

Session calendar

An academic calendar that combines two 7-week blocks and two 14-week sessions, with a 2-week study break in between each study period.

Year-long calendar

Three year-long study periods which align with the start dates for Trimesters and Blocks 1, 3 and 5 study periods. The year-long study periods facilitate the completion of clinical and professional placements which may fall outside of the standard study periods.

Research Calendar

Graduate Research School calendar comprising eight 6-week study periods across the calendar year. Enrolment in the Research study periods is only available to students undertaking PhD studies.
