Brandman MyPath™ Academic Calendar
An academic year for the Brandman MyPath competency-based education program consists of the completion of at least 24 units (18 units for Graduate MyPath) and 48 weeks of instruction. Unlike the traditional academic calendar, the Brandman 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 24 units (18 units for Graduate MyPath) and 48 weeks of instruction have been completed. Since the program is self-paced, students may earn more than 24 units (18 units for Graduate MyPath) in a 48-week period, or students can take more than 48 weeks to earn the 24 units (18 units for Graduate MyPath).
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 2020-2021 Academic Year are:
- Winter Break: December 13th, 2020 through December 26th, 2020
- Summer Break: June 13th, 2021 through June 26th, 2021
