The 3+ calendar was introduced in 2019 with a plan to review within five years. Following the review, the Academic Calendar project was launched to establish a calendar suitable for the future of UNSW. We have been working with the UNSW community to consider what will work for UNSW going forward, exploring a range of calendar concepts.
We have homed in on two proposals – a semester model and a trimester model – and further work is being done to refine both concepts as well as consider the financial, non-financial and operational implications of both approaches before a final decision is made.
