My school operates on a quarter-based schedule with summer, fall, winter, and spring academic quarters. Instead of taking courses this coming winter, am I permitted to take a vacation?

Answer

If a student attends a school on a quarter or trimester calendar, they may take one vacation per year during any one of the quarters or trimesters, as long as they have completed the equivalent of an academic year prior to taking the vacation. (17.Jun.2025)
