ALL DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
*At the end of the semester students traveling from Irkutsk are strongly encouraged to fly to Moscow one day prior to their international flight. Flight delays are common and there is a risk of missing one's connecting flight from Moscow if you attempt to fly out on that same day.
** Students may finish earlier than this, but we will not be able to confirm their exam schedule until well into the semester.
