Academic Calendar

Academic Calendar

The traditional academic calendar with limited enrollment periods, holidays, and other significant dates is not applicable to IST.  In IST’s continuous-enrollment model, students can start any day of the week all year long.  Students can access learning resources, watch video lessons, view grades, and complete online assessments any time, day or night, without regard to holidays and/or other significant dates. Each course is a minimum of 15 weeks in length.  It is the responsibility of every student to register for each course as there is no automatic registration for classes / courses.
