ISCE Academic Calendar

The academic calendar at Instituto Superior de Ciencias Educativas (ISCE) follows a traditional semester-based structure, designed to align with the educational rhythms of the region. Typically, the academic year is divided into two main semesters: the Fall Semester, which generally begins in late September or early October and concludes in mid-February, and the Spring Semester, running from late February or early March through mid-July. This structure includes extended breaks during the winter holidays in December and January, as well as a shorter break in April for regional observances. A unique feature of ISCE’s calendar is its emphasis on intensive modular workshops during inter-semester periods, allowing students to engage in specialized training or research projects.

The academic calendar at ISCE generally aligns with national educational norms, ensuring compatibility with public holidays and regional events, which facilitates planning for both domestic and international students. The extended winter break and modular inter-semester periods offer flexibility, particularly for international students who may need to travel or engage in short-term academic opportunities. While specific dates for the 2025–2026 academic year and admissions cycle are based on typical patterns and may be subject to change, ISCE’s scheduling reflects a commitment to balancing academic rigor with cultural and personal considerations. Students are encouraged to verify exact dates through official university communications as they become available.
