Class Schedules & Program Start Dates

 

Flexible Scheduling Options

Rather than fixed terms, classes at UPC often follow a Continuous Intake Model throughout the year. This means you can start when you are ready, depending on program availability, helping you get into the classroom faster.

 

UPC also uses a Cohort Intake Model for some programs, particularly the Accounting program. In this model, students begin together as a group on specific start dates and move through the program together. This approach offers a structured schedule and a collaborative learning environment.

 

How It Works

Continuous Intake Dates

Many of our programs offer multiple start dates throughout the year, sometimes monthly or by term block, so you can begin at a time that suits you.

 

Class Timings

Courses may run in the morning, afternoon, evening, or on weekends, depending on the specific program and its delivery format (on-campus or online).

 

Scheduling Flexibility

UPC reserves the right to modify schedules, combine classes, or reassign instructors to accommodate enrollment trends and maintain education quality. While we strive to keep schedules consistent, adjustments may be made when necessary to ensure smooth program delivery.

 

 

Schedule Break

UPC has a fixed two-week Winter Break at the end of each calendar year. This break allows students and staff to rest and recharge. Additionally, depending on your program, you may have scheduled breaks between courses to help you manage your study workload effectively.
