Notes:
* Dates from Suffolk University Academic Calendar as of September, 2022.
** Participation in one of these trips is automatically included in students’ tuition and fees. For students who do not choose to participate in any of the trips included, no refund will be available.
1 Lab trips and course-related trips are mandatory and only for students registered in the corresponding class.
‡ Dates for specific exams will be published separately and may be subject to change; therefore, students should not make arrangements for any personal plans or travel during the stated midterm and final exam periods. Exams will not be rescheduled to accommodate travel or other personal plans.
The Spanish Ministry of Labor publishes the calendar of official holidays a few months ahead of the relevant year. Therefore, it is possible that there may be changes in the Suffolk University Madrid Campus calendar. Otherwise, changes are expected to be slight.
Suffolk University Madrid Campus reserves the right to alter these dates should the need arise.
