How semesters are arranged?   

The academic year at NJU is divided into two semesters: a spring semester and a fall one.

A semester usually lasts 17 weeks, of which the last 2 weeks are set aside for exam review. The school year starts in September, which is also the start of the fall semester; the spring semester usually starts in February.

The summer vacation begins in July, and lasts for about 8 weeks. Winter vacation is determined by the date of the Chinese Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, and because the date of this festival differs from year to year, the length of the winter break is not fixed. It usually begins 12 days before the start of the festival, and lasts about 5 weeks in all.
