Program Dates
| Note: | The program dates are typically confirmed on your official acceptance from the host university (issued a couple months after the USAC application deadline) and are subject to change. Please note, the host university may update program dates at any time; this is outside USAC’s control. |
| Note: | Tet Holiday, or Tet Nguyen Dan, is Vietnam’s Lunar New Year, celebrating spring's arrival and symbolizing renewal and good fortune. Being the most important holiday celebrated in Vietnam, it plays a significant role in the planning of the academic calendar for the spring semester. Depending on where the holiday falls on the lunar calendar, the spring semester start date may shift between January and February. Final program calendar dates will not be confirmed until approximately six months before the beginning of the spring semester and are subject to change. |

Occasionally dates need to be changed or field trips modified. Refer back to this calendar often for the most current dates.
The host university may update program dates and/or field trips at any time; these changes are often outside USAC’s control as dates are set by the host university. USAC does its best to estimate these dates ahead of time and to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Many times, updated calendar dates are included in your host university acceptance letter. We update these as quickly as possible and as often as needed; refer back to this calendar for the most current dates.
