** Participation in one of these trips is automatically included in students’ tuition and fees. A supplementary fee for the trip to Andorra

1 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.
