Vacation Dates
At its meeting on 26 June 2007, Universities Australia agreed to publish as a guide to universities, common Vacation Dates to the year 2015.
As for previous years, Universities Australia continues to use a formula based on Week 1 being counted from the Monday nearest 1 March, with the common vacation weeks being:
- the week beginning with Easter Monday;
- week 19; and
- week 31.
The common vacation weeks for the years 2007-2015 commence are as follows:

Semester Dates
As in past years, the Universities Australia Secretariat maintains the information on
Semester Dates for all member universities in a central repository.
The semester dates information has been sought by employers of
university graduates, embassies, International and Government bodies
planning for key events for the higher education sector.
Details on Summer Semester have been added where applicable, showing the commencement and end dates of
the Semester. Where no details are shown for the Summer Semester of a
university, it could either be simply no formal Summer Semester (not
university wide) or no significant teaching activities taken place
during this period. As advised by multi-campus universities, a single
set of Semester Dates is used by all on-shore campuses within the
university.
