Academic Calendar and Important Dates

UniSQ is continuing to rollout an innovative and new Academic Calendar that allows you to better manage your study load and structure your own degree progression to balance work, family, and university commitments.

Plan for success and download the calendar relevant to your degree to see all key dates throughout the academic year. You can also filter important dates by your study period or find 2025 calendars below.

Information on the programs transitioning to a new calendar in 2025 can be found on our Academic Calendar Program FAQs.
