If you're a commencing student at UWA, the academic year is normally divided into two semesters.

• Semester 1 runs from late February to the end of May, approximately.
• Semester 2 from late July to the end of October, approximately.

Semester and other teaching period dates are published each year on our Current Students' website. You can also check the Important Dates and the official Academic Calendar for more information. 

For standard semester teaching periods, classes normally commence from the start date of the semester onwards.

You may have units taught in non-standard teaching periods, particularly if you are a postgraduate student. It is important to check your enrolled teaching periods by logging on to studentConnect (Course Details > Course & Unit or Statement of Enrolment).

 For information on your course and units, refer to the UWA Handbook or contact your Student Advising Office.
