Academic calendar

This restricted-access academic calendar shows important dates for teachers. Important dates for students are published in the public-access academic calendar. Important dates for program directors and administrators are published on the CDS SharePoint site (restricted access).

This calendar is a general overview of the unfolding of the Bachelor’s and Master’s semesters and exam sessions. The CMS, programs, and faculties communicate deadlines specific to them. The various events organized within the school are published in the Memento EPFL.

You may also download the annual calendar of semesters and exam sessions as a PDF file (without the mise à niveau).
