Why do the course start and end dates published in mySI-net not line up with the MD program Academic Calendar?
The MD program follows a longer semester schedule. Whilst the enrolment and census dates align with the wider University, you will follow the MD Academic Calendar. This calendar contains information on commencement and completion dates relevant for the MD program.
