Academic Calendar

The Academic Calendar manages institution-wide dates that affect everyone: holidays, exam periods, semester boundaries, and registration windows.

What you can do

Go to Academic Calendar in the admin menu to:

  • View all academic events
  • Create new academic events (holidays, exam periods, breaks, registration windows)
  • Edit event details
  • Delete events that are no longer needed

Event types

You can create these types of academic events:

  • Holiday — institution-wide days off
  • Exam period — scheduled exam windows
  • Semester start/end — term boundaries
  • Break — short breaks between terms
  • Registration — enrollment windows

Creating an event

When you create an academic event, you'll set:

  • Event type — what kind of event this is
  • Title — name of the event (e.g., "Winter Break")
  • Description — additional details
  • Start date — when the event begins
  • End date — when the event ends (for multi-day events)
  • Institution — which institution this event applies to
  • Academic year — which year this event belongs to

How it works

  • Academic events appear on the unified calendar for all users
  • Multi-day events (like semester breaks) automatically expand to show every day
  • Deleting an event archives it (historic calendar data remains available)
