This change reflects a preference for study weeks to be separated – rather than be consecutive – even if this means they are scheduled close together to account for public holidays and school holidays. The approved revisions to onshore Independent Study Weeks in 2023 are as follows:

• Semester 1, 2023: Week 7 and week 10 (previously approved as week 6 and week 7).
• Semester 2, 2023: Week 5 and week 9 (previously approved as week 8 and week 9).

This change was approved by Academic Council at its meeting of 18 May 2022, by resolution AC/48/2022. You can view the revised calendar online.
