NB : all dates are subject to change.
A copy of the detailed calendar for the academic year is sent to enrolled students and their parents as soon as it is available. It is based on the French university calendar, which is sometimes not announced until quite late in the spring, but we will attempt to provide essential starting date information as early as possible (important orientation information is included in this calendar).
