Vacation
MBA students are required to attend academic and work terms full-time and are not permitted to schedule vacations outside of the official university breaks.
All MBA students will have the following breaks in their academic schedules:
•Fall term: Late December (after final examination period is complete) up to the first day of classes or first day of your work term in early January
•Winter term*: There is a break in mid-February (see below for details). As well, there is time following exams (after final examination period is complete).
Note: Students on work term do not have a scheduled mid-February break.
•Summer term: Following exams (after final examination period is complete). For students in an academic term, there is generally a break during the last 2-3 weeks in August.
•Please note we do NOT have a mid-term recess (“Reading Break”) in the Fall term of MBA. MBA students will receive a mid-term break when they are registered in an academic term during the winter. The mid-term break* is usually mid-February and aligned with Family Day weekend. Students completing a Co-op work term during Winter term do NOT take this break.
•Start times for Co-op work terms vary depending on employer needs. Therefore, MBA with Co-op students may not have the opportunity for the same scheduled breaks as other MBA students.
Vacations and holidays are not permitted outside of the above-mentioned breaks. Students enrolled in a Co-op work term are not permitted to take vacations while on work term as the required work term duration is minimum 14 consecutive (uninterrupted) weeks
Please note we do not accommodate vacation requests during the exam period. The students are expected to be available for the entire exam period.
