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 and/or completion of the Integrating Project (generally last 2-3 weeks of April)
•Summer term: Following exams (for upper year students) and/or completion of the Integrating Project (for first year students). This is generally the last 2-3 weeks of 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 work term during Winter term do NOT take this break.
A note about the beginning of Co-op work terms – 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
