nus academic calendar​ 10 28

The NUS academic calendar is the key resource for knowing when semesters, breaks, and assessments take place. NUS operates on a two-semester system, with Semester 1 typically starting in early August and Semester 2 beginning in January.

Each semester includes a teaching period, a reading week for revision, and an examination period. Students can opt for special terms in May–July to take additional courses or catch up on credits.

Major events like orientation week, add/drop deadlines, and commencement ceremonies are also marked. Most faculties follow the general calendar, but some (like medicine or law) may have slightly different schedules—so it’s always good to check your faculty’s version.

You can easily find the current calendar on the NUS portal, which provides downloadable PDFs for planning ahead.

All in all, the NUS academic calendar helps every student and staff member website manage their schedules smoothly from semester to semester.
