Academic Calendar


The South African academic year starts in February and ends in November. Interstudy students spending the North American fall semester in South Africa will actually be entering the second semester of the South African system after the South African mid-year (July/winter) break. Although duration of courses at Rhodes is generally a full academic year, single-semester enrollment is easily achieved due to specially developed criteria for assessment.
