The approval and release of the 2023/2024 academic calendar by PRINCOF, GTEC, and the Ministry of Education confirms that the colleges are back to their regular academic calendar.
Beginning on January 10, 2024, the colleges will commence their academic activities and conclude them on September 7, 2024.
Furthermore, the 2024/2025 academic calendar will commence on October 7, 2024, effectively restoring the colleges’ ‘customary’ academic timeline.
As a result, application forms for the 2024/2025 academic year are expected to be made available in April or May, to allow prospective students to submit their applications and prepare to commence their studies on October 7, 2024.

One notable feature of the calendar is the implementation of an IN-IN-IN-OUT residential policy for the academic year.
Under this policy, students from levels 100 to 300 will be accommodated on campus at the same time, while level 400 students will commute from off-campus locations to the college for lectures, bringing an end to the double-track system.
