Welcome to the Academic Calendar of Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University (DDIBU). Our academic calendar is meticulously designed to provide students with a structured and enriching learning experience throughout the academic year. Below are the key highlights of our academic calendar:

  1. Semester Dates: Our academic year is divided into two semesters - Fall Semester and Spring Semester. Each semester typically spans several months, with specific start and end dates announced well in advance.

  2. Registration Periods: Prior to the start of each semester, students are provided with designated registration periods to enroll in courses, pay tuition fees, and finalize their academic schedules.

  3. Orientation Week: At the beginning of each semester, DDIBU organizes an orientation week to welcome new students, introduce them to campus facilities, resources, and academic policies, and help them acclimate to university life.

  4. Class Schedule: The academic calendar includes a detailed class schedule outlining the dates, times, and locations of all courses offered during the semester. Students have access to this schedule to plan their academic activities accordingly.

  5. Holidays and Breaks: DDIBU observes national holidays and scheduled breaks during the academic year. These breaks provide students with opportunities for rest, relaxation, and personal enrichment.

  6. Midterm Examinations: Midway through each semester, DDIBU conducts midterm examinations to assess students' progress and understanding of course materials. These examinations help faculty identify areas for improvement and provide additional support to students as needed.

  7. Final Examinations: At the end of each semester, DDIBU administers final examinations to evaluate students' comprehension and mastery of course content. Final examinations are typically held over a designated period, followed by a grading and evaluation process.

  8. Graduation Ceremony: DDIBU celebrates the academic achievements of its graduating students with a formal graduation ceremony held at the end of the academic year. Graduates are recognized for their hard work and dedication, and they receive their diplomas as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.

  9. Special Events and Workshops: Throughout the academic year, DDIBU hosts various special events, workshops, and guest lectures featuring renowned scholars, practitioners, and experts in the field of Buddhist studies. These events enrich students' learning experiences and provide opportunities for intellectual engagement and networking.

Our Academic Calendar serves as a roadmap for students, faculty, and staff, ensuring a smooth and productive academic journey at Dhamma Dipa International Buddhist University. We encourage all members of the DDIBU community to refer to the calendar regularly and take advantage of the opportunities it offers for growth, learning, and personal development.
