Brandman MyPath Academic Calendar
An academic year for the Brandman MyPath competency-based education program consists of the completion of at least 18 units and 48 weeks of instruction. Unlike the traditional academic calendar, the MyPath program has no semesters, trimesters, quarters, or other terms with set beginning and ending dates. Instead, the academic year begins on the day that a student completes the first substantive academic activity (starts attendance) and ends when both the minimum 18 units and 48 weeks of instruction have been completed. Since the program is self-paced, students may earn more than 18 units in a 48-week period, or students can take more than 48 weeks to earn the 18 units.
In addition, there is a two-week break scheduled for December and June of each year in which teaching does not take place; therefore, these weeks do not count toward completion of the 48 weeks of instruction.
The breaks for the 2018-2019 Academic Year are:
- Winter Break: December 16th, 2018 through December 29th, 2018
- Summer Break: June 16th, 2019 through June 29th, 2019
