IT Online academic calendar

The IT Online programmes divide the year into three 16-week semesters: Fall, Spring and Summer.

  • The Fall (F) semester runs from late August through the middle of December.
  • The Spring (Sp) semester runs from the beginning of January through the end of April.
  • The Summer (Su) semester begins the first week of May and ends at the end of August.

Each semester is divided into two accelerated terms called 8 Week One (8W1) and 8 Week Two (8W2).

The precise dates for each of these terms is shown on the bottom of the IT Online Student Launchpad homepage.

Each term, a complete module is taught and examined. Students normally take one module at a time. The thesis component of the programme commences at the end of Year One (typically during Sp8W2) and continues throughout Year Two.
